A Failed Escape Attempt - A.c.t

The first thing he felt was the cold hard ground he was lying on

He opened his eyes and stared straight into an endless darkness

Then he heard the wheezing breath. It sounded like someone was

Breathing through a tube into his ear. Ht was his own breath. he tried

To move his hand, but it was pulled back with a jerk. The wrist cracked and

something scraped against the floor. the chain, he remembered.

He was stuck.

A man leans down and whispers:

«You can’t stay. This is your chance, now take it, run away»

The stupid creature grunts and thinks, I’ll try

They says a word, it’s sounding like goodbye

«Straight ahead, never turn around

Don’t look back, back where you began

Through the woods, through the fields you’ll run

Don’t go back to that awful man»

A clumsy figure flees into the night

He’s tired, turns, and glimpses a distant light

He’s rushing now, towards a waving man

That foolish thing, runs back where he began

«Straight ahead, never turn around

Don’t look back, back where you began

Through the woods, through the fields you’ll run

Don’t go back to that awful man»
