I think the shock of the ambush surprised me because while the other spies quickly swallowed their cyanide tablets, I accidentally ate what turned out to be a Vitamin C lozenge.
Like our squad leader had warned, the torture was pretty awful, although at one point I did notice that one of my captors seemed to be coming down with a bit of a cold. “I guess that’s what happens when you don’t take your Vitamin C,” I thought to myself.
I was going to tell him that kind of as a joke, but it was time to dip me in the vat of boiling feces again.
