Survival - skill

A graduate in architecture, he let it be known. Well you have to talk about something to staunch the boredom, the hunger and the pain. And so doing, he became the architect of his own survival.

The Commandant heard of his skill. And the Commandant wanted a new clubhouse by the beach. So he designed him one, taking great care, and time, because time would be his best friend. This would be a wonderful clubhouse. A building fit for an oriental king.

He suffered with other prisoners, but whilst suffering can inspire creative excellence, incapacity couldn't. He was kept fit.
