An interesting look at what may be, and how each of us make our little world exactly how we feel secure in it. A prison or a shelter, our choice. Great job.

Lovely and philosophical. I appreciated the author notes. Truly, you climbed out of the well of despair.

Liked these lines: Every event is a link between past and future, a smooth hook of yesterday's yarn into today's fabric stitched into tomorrow. :)

Well done!

Excellent study, so many emotions captured in such few words

.I became confused about who I really was and what my life was meant to be; I lost the concept of happiness-don;t we all...

Very well done

what an imaginative take on the prompt , i love it.

it reads half as a myth and the other half as a very intimatelyv recolection


immersed in the multimedia distractions of blog, iPod, computer, twenty-four-hour news, and credit card debt. I hardly noticed the inexorable passing of time.

excellent ending to a stunning piece

I was comfortable in my prison - as if I'd earned punishment and was meant to suffer, but I climbed. Tears filled my eyes. Little by little, the lip above the pit approached. I realized I was both prison guard and prisoner. Everything I ever needed was within.

Well done on an excellent, honest, courageous and emotive piece of writing. You have accurately expressed the pain and torment of midlife, which is enough as it is. Let alone the pain and loss of a failed marriage, changing jobs and raising a teenager. But, I applaud your courage in triumphing over a very difficult period of your life. I can relate alot to your story. Thanks for sharing your heart.

I really liked the ending. Well crafted. I like the irony of being both prisoner and prison guard. Great description helping the reader form images. Great work

This is an absorbing and dramatic piece of work. Your images draw beautiful metaphors and similes that made my mind explore and wonder about things that I haven't experienced.

Very well written. I loved your creative approach to this contest. It was fun to read something different and a different kind of kidnapping that took place. Nicely done. So much real emotion and good description. I am glad you are at a different place now :) Good luck in the contest. I really enjoyed this interesting piece of work. Dana
