The Great Escape

In a small town there I was. With limited communications and connections. I was trapped and I had to find my emancipation.

In the early hours of morning, the 'Great Escape' was inaugurated. I needed money, and fast. Away from watchful eyes, I committed an offense on the 8th commandment. Same morning, when dawn broke, I booked my one way route to freedom. But I needed to be patient, my time has not come.

The following days, I was interrogated and threatened. I denied all allegations made against me.

When the 3rd day came, I saw my calling. It was now or never. The night before I did not sleep. It had to be perfect. With the rise of the sun, I set out and disguised my way to the port. I was in full alert, constantly looking over my shoulders.

As I got onto my sail of freedom, I breathed a sigh of relief. There was no looking back now.
