Here I sit in my cell and time is ticking oh-so-slowly by�?� My captors often come to my cell to hand me more �??work�?? to do. They don�??t know that I know this �??work�?? is completely pointless and I am accomplishing nothing �?? something that is horrible torture for me. My fellow inmates squabble over the weakest accommodations. Who gets the cell by the window? Who gets the chair that doesn�??t squeak? The monotony is broken up only by my imagination�?� I imagine that my cell is actually a portal to another world were I am free off all inhibitions and I can wander at my leisure in forests and grassy plains, through streams and on beaches. I don�??t have a uniform to wear; I don�??t have a care in the world. Money is meaningless in this world and my home is a library with a large cozy chair next to a fire place where I can snuggle up and read for however long I want. Much as I love my dreams reality hits me like an ice cube down my back. Here come my captors with more �??work�?? to do. And I have to follow them to the �??conference room.�?? What can this mean? Will they set me free? Will they finally do me in? Please sir, take these shackles off of my brain, let my creativity soar!&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ItWasTheBest/worstOfTimes/~4/ezfPOdaEWvo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://bestworstjvo.blogspot.com/feeds/8051242314638794633/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=593451918221924726&amp;postID=8051242314638794633" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/593451918221924726/posts/default/8051242314638794633?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://bestworstjvo.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/8051242314638794633" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ItWasTheBest/worstOfTimes/~3/ezfPOdaEWvo/day-588-of-my-captivity.html" title="Day 588 of my captivity" /><author><name>Jaclyn</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14698772095673140124</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://bestworstjvo.blogspot.com/2008/05/day-588-of-my-captivity.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
