Trapped

by Katelyn   Dec 10, 2004


I am awake and I am alive
but trapped here forever
this bathroom so dark and wet
with a chain around my ankle
where am I?

The lights flash on to blind to see
another man lying on the ground dead
one other man who flipped the switch
looks familiar but I can't tell who he is

We find tape recorders in our pockets
this guy tells us what to do to survive
A camera watching us all the time
we look around and find clues to help us
but the pain is too much to get out

Our last chance has come
we find a phone and receive a call
my friend, his family's life is on the line
what can we do but saw our ankles off?

Last chance he won't shoot the gun,
the dead man gets up and leaves me alone.
