Being Stuck In a Cell, by Edward Litvinov
If I was stuck in a small cell like Charles Darnay, I would try to imitate creatures that go in to a dormant mode by lowering their body temperature or hibernating. I would not do this, of course, but to not go insane I would only focus on some trivial thing and find ways to entertain myself about it. I would probably wonder about how something I am passionate about is doing and imagine it becoming successful over and over again, but with small variations. That way, when I would come out of the cell, I would be less affected by my lonely time in it, and I would be fresh enough to think my way out of my conundrum.
