Locked In

Closing in

I'd decided earlier that I would walk as far as I could go. Somehow there was something solid underneath me, but it was flat. Not a kink in it at all, perfectly flat. And I didn't like perfect. I'd counted 47 steps when I hit something. It felt like a wall, but I couldn't see it. Further on behind the Wall, was the same dark void. The wall was smooth, and also didn't have a single kink in it. I pushed against it. I slowly pushed harder and harder, and soon, I began ramming into the wall. Was it possible for me to break out of here?

A few more hits later, the wall started to move. Unfortunately, it didn't move the way I expected it to. When I first felt it move, I thought I was making progress, but I really was making the opposite. The walls were inching in at a surprisingly quick pace. What had I done?

Of course, like every other damsel in distress, I called for help. I wouldn't even have been surprised if 'Prince Charming' suddenly appeared. I pounded on the walls and tried to push the walls back. I was weak, so I gave up. I sat down against the wall, and let it push me. I was too tired to try anything else at the time...
