Modern kind on a fort 17 from street

Illustrations to the chapter “Torn”

In time of war the building with chimneys looked the same, but was painted dark grey. There was no green peeping out from behind the wall. The wall was overbuilt with metal bars covered by barbed wire.

Behind the wall there was barbed-wire fence. Watchman with tommy-gun walked along this fence. Behind the trees you can’t see a hillside where a dungeon was dug up, which was locked with metal heck at night. Concrete floor of the dungeon was covered with plank deck with aisle in the middle, which served as plank bed.
