I was tranquil when I locked myself up. I could still hear the screaming and yelling of my future reminding me constantly of my imminant failure. I knew captivity was the best and only solution. How could I inflict so much pain? I saw myself in the chains that bound and the whips that cracked, knowing that I would soon take the place of the tyrant. The cold metallic door sealed me inside the confines of my own conscience and guilt. I could hear the forces within me joining together to strike the only thing they could. Their anger and hatred burned for flesh. They wanted to caress and stroke and crush. We were alone together, my soul their only prey. Sometimes I can still hear muffled voices outside. Occasionally they are friendly, urging me to come outside and give life and love another try. I think of all the happiness I could enjoy and the joy I could bring. But sometimes the sounds are harsh. I can hear It again. The helpless subjects groan and cry at the screaming and thrashing of their oppressor, as the king jently tells me I can have all this and more. The forces build up inside. Slowly that which was to be my kingdom surrounds my dying soul. My growing chains tighten with each passing voice and feeling, slowly consuming the only food they will ever get. 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2 |
