There was a boy that was trapped inside a box. No space to move or walk just sitting there until his body felt numb. His breathing was the melody in the dark an the heartbeat the drum of war. Whispering words were flying arrows in the nothingness. He screamed for help, he cry his eyes out but none one could help him. One night a little fish that was so bright that his brown eyes could be seen after a long time. - Are you ok boy? - the fish asked but he couldn't respond. - I can hear the scream of your heart but your mind create four wall and now you're trap in the inside. - The boy just kept staring at the white blue fish swimming around him. - I felt that my sun has died and there is no more life or warmth and now I need to grow up when I am still just a boy. Tell me fish what should I do? When I am calling for help and none one can hear me! - the boy vented his angry thoughts that injured the fish for a few seconds. - Instead of calling for help in riddles try to be honest and speak with your heart and not with your mind young boy. - replied the fish. In front of the boy was his older self wrapping his knees whit his arms. - Kid don't be afraid because you're the key for this box to break away and be free. The boy started to cry and the sewing around his lips started to break and he started to open his mouth even that it was bleeding he didn't felt pain and the walls started to shatters letting beams of light to get in to take over the darkness. When he looks up can see again the sun  and the young boy disappeared with a smile when the wind blown then the kid took the fish and ate it. The boy felt the embrace of the warmth once more.
