Excellent entry for the The Prisoner writing prompt contest. You followed the rules well. The flash fiction has a clear plot that though short it conveyed effective ideas.

Poor Pop, what a sad ending.

Good luck in the contest.

Oh goodness, a prisoner who hung himself. This is very devastating when you hear or see this type of suicide. Suicide is not a good thing in the first place. It is a tragic death.

You have a glaring spelling error in this my friend. the word you need to be using is foresaken. It means to be abandoned, left by the wayside. Correct it before anyone else sees it. cheers Cass

'For shaken' is a much more appropriate animated word for what went on in his mind and psyche. "In his past, he had been a KGB agent. His mission was to gather intelligence." That was a scary career. It makes me think of the TV show from when I was a kid called I Led 3 Lives. We shook as we watched it. It's actually still on
You Tube.

    Yes, he was a KGB agent, an intelligent person, I can't believe he ended his life in a low note. Thank you for your review. I will try to catch the show.

    It is on you tube. Very dramatic probably because of the era it was produced. This show was based on fact. Move the cursor to 2 minutes to begin the story

Very interesting. The notion of being disavowed by ones country, is an old worry in spy thrillers.

electronic training put him in good standing ground within the prison.

I do wonder about this line. I would look at it closely.

    Yes, he was disowned and left to deal with incarceration by himself. He was a genius in electronics and system used his trade for company's gain. I could reword it. Thank you.

GReat non-fiction story for the writing prompt on prisoners. A KGB agent for shaken by his country, I love that phrase and the misspelling. Yes, so many casualties of war from suicide.
