Bridge of Sighs

Outside the zone of Venice's city centre, the prisons are found. "My only wish," thought the convict as he approached the Bridge of Sighs, " is redemption." A prior life of rape and murder had brought him here, to a future somewhat known in the cloistered rooms of his heart. How did I let myself get here? A suspicious wind yielded a gentle answer to his question. The prison guard made the sign of the cross as the prisoner took one final look at Venice - a practice done by all prisoners. He entered the prison doors and embraced his destiny.
