'You are my captive, never to escape' his voice rang in my head. 'I can see he is talking to you again' he spoke to me smiling. I looked at him puzzled, as to how he heard the voice of my captor when no one else could. 'And you don't have to bother yourself on how I heard his voice' he said smiling. I was frightened, I knew he was my Shepherd but how did know all this? 'Who else are you?' I asked after finding my voice. 'I would tell you that later but I have to get you out of these chains' he replied. 'But I have no chains on' I answered then I looked at my hands, feet, and neck only for me to see heavy chains on me. Chains, I never realized I had on. This is my story, a story of how I got into terrible bondage to being bound to something far better than my past addiction. STARTED: 16th May 2022 ENDED: 15th July 2022
