Entrapped



Breathless. Her hands wrapped around her body in a straitjacket. The more she moves the more restricted she feels. The straps seem to get tighter, hugging her body. Tighter still, starting to bite into her skin. Pressing her ribs together, reducing the capacity of her lungs. She can't breathe. It hurts. She panics and struggles to escape. But it keeps tightening, until she feels her ribs start breaking, one by one. and she thinks she's going to die. She exhaled her last breathe...

She woke up sweating. The sheets of her bed a tangle around her body. She takes a couple of deep breathes and exhales. It was only a dream. She thought. "It was only a dream" she said out loud.

She got up ready to start her day. Her tortured soul still entrapped in chains.
