Confinement. It's a state of being confined, with obviously limits set very close by. Confinement is a terrible thing, much like restrictions but it is even worse. It's inescapable once you are confined and misery is a definite.
I punch the walls of the small box I'm in as I hear the ocean waves roar outside of the pure steel box.
I struggle as I try hitting it and finally give up, realizing that I can't escape.
All of the sudden, a screen shows up in front of me on one wall of the box.
"Hello," a masked man says, "Give me the secret or you will die in this box and you will have to give the secret."
I pretend to try and get out of the box while hitting and I yell out of pretended frustration.
"Fine!," I yell.
"Alright," the man on the screen says, "So, what is it?"
"Okay," I say, "Here goes nothing. The government has held this secret back in the 1900s and I am not telling you this secret unless you let me out of the box first."
The masked man grunts.
"Ugh," he says, "Fine! But the secret will be out when you get out of that box!"
About what feels like forever later, I'm being taken out of the box and held at gunpoint.
"Tell the secret NOW," he says, "Because you are going to die."
I say nothing as I struggle, trying to get away.
"Alright," he says, putting a blindfold over my eyes.
"Please let me go," I pleadingly say.
"This is pointless," he says with frustration.
And a gun shot goes off.
