"But Carter had been plucked straight off death row and landed here in less than a day: his mind would be tumbling like a dryer."
Metaphor in Context
Richards stepped into the gloom and cold. A wide roof was suspended over the concrete deck, keeping the surface clear of snow and obstructing the view from the rest of the compound. He checked his watch: 07:12. By now, he figured, Anthony Carter would be psychological wreck. With the other subjects there had been time for adjustment. But Carter had been plucked straight off death row and landed here in less than a day: his mind would be tumbling like a dryer. The important thing in the next two hours was to keep him calm.
