Escape

There are many ways. The spirits say there are. Ways to escape. There are gaps through the bars. I could flatten my body and slip though. Or so they say. The medicine counter calls us. They call us every day. The voices go deeper. I try to flatten my body, but my mom calls. Blurting things out, and crying. Then flatness.
