A Wish For Freedom

Water appeased her thirst momentarily, would the dehydrated and weak lass leave any dreg at the bottom of the glass? With her lice-infested hair she strayed away, by staring at the fence of barbed wire... a wish for freedom scorched hotter than fire! The teenager girl was not tied up, or held in chains; neither she called for help, amid sun-dipped canyons that only coyotes frequented: who would have heard it? Years ago, she was abducted by a convict and brutally raped. Before she drank the clear water taken from the rain-filled bucket, she remembered how precious feedom was...having lots of fun, running after a kite that flew higher than the blazing sun; that was a beautiful world: this one was the ugliest place without escape.
