Crimson’s Creative Challenge #184 #What lies beneath

Down below these planks of wood

cowers a girl who prays she could

break the bonds that hold her tight,

between each plank a chink of light

she above her head can clearly see

that holds the promise to be free,

though thoughts of death may still be near,

thus gently acting to salve her fear

although no matter how bad this may seem

when she awakes will find ‘‘twas just a dream.”
