On Wednesday i was driving by my grandparents' house. i drive by it often, its on one of my regular routes, but i usually only drive by the front yard. That was safety. It was clear in the eyes of everyone and Granny often sat on the front poarch. But, on Wednesday, i drove on the sidestreet past their house. And, i saw this.
They have sealed the entryway to the basement. So now i feel trapped in there. i feel like i can't get my breath, that i am smoothering down there and i can't get out. And, when my sleeping mind carried this information to the many little girls who still feel trapped there an unbearably hopeless shriek began and will not stop. We are locked inside. And, no one will ever come and let us out.
