The eyes don’t return.

I long for them to come back.

They gave me a beautiful night, of rest and no nightmares. When the hallucinations faded with the eyes, I was able to heal. When I woke, I was in less pain then I have ever been.

Of course, it didn’t last long.

But I remembered… Not a person, place, thing. Not a memory, but an impression, of a feeling. The feeling of power. Of flying. Being so high, untouchable, in control.

It made me long for something new.

The absence of feeling helpless. Feeling… in control, powerful? Maybe. I think it’s just the desire to be free. But the people here have made it quite clear: even if I do escape…

I’ll never be free.

But the more I think, the more I long. I rationalize, try to make it all lay out into a plan.

This is something to want. I can resist forever, that much is clear, but now I want out.

I need out.

I’m going to get out.
