Yesterday was “J” in the A to Z challenge. Once again I am a day late. Not doing so well in the discipline department. Ah well …
Bars!
Surprisingly strong! Yet invisible … Chains built in the same forge. Also unseen.
I must get out!
JAILER!! (jailer …) LET ME OUT!! (please oh please)
For an eternity, no one answers. My throat grows hoarse with my cries.But nobody comes to my rescue …
DESPAIR!
Then the whisper of a voice. On the verge of hearing. There but not there. Planting a seed of hope. Words start emerging …
“You” … (me?) … did it say “have the key?” (me … I have no key … ). The voice grows stronger … the words clearer. “You ARE the key!”
SUDDEN CLARITY!
The chains; the bars … I (ME!) made them! So only I can break them.
Freedom is up to me.
