Re: Help me escape (Duncecap)

So, as I sit here tonight, and celebrate my sixth year ‘in’ here, I bang these words out in morse code, using two rocks, hoping beyond hope that the sound, and the implied intelligence therein, might reach the ears of another. Another that might help me escape. What’s that you say? “Impossible,” sez you? So what? Yea, alright, I don’t really think that I can reach someone capable of aid by banging two rocks together. But I might as well. It suits me fine to find I’m sitting here talking to myself. I’m at ease with that. Though I might not once have been.

I’m about to walk to my standard resting place, for this, and most other nights of timid sleep. It’s not even a lean-to or cave. It’s a friggin’ tree hollowed out by rodents; squirrels and whatnot. I’ll hang just a while for now right here, instead of there. It’s not raining and the tightness of that enclosure leaves me tired in the morning...(but alive I think only to myself). Maybe I’ll risk it and sleep out tonight. Besides, the sky is more clear than usual and I can look to the stars and see every one and imagine them asking me what they should be called. That’s nice to think about. I’ll do that for a while.

I fell asleep there on the ‘dome’. That’s what I call that ‘center place’. The place above all others, so far as I know or can see. The Place I can see the rest of my priso...fence, er...the one and only place I feel free when I want to vent my frustration about not being smart enough to escape from this place.

Never mind. I need to think a while.
