Finding the Light

A girl.
All alone.
Hidden and trapped.

Freedom is gone.
Life is a mystery.
Love has vanished.
Hope is everywhere but here.

A girl is trapped on an island, condemned to a fate of isolation. She was put there for her safety. Or so it seems. There is something hidden inside that girl. Something so dangerous and wonderful that it threatens to overwhelm the very vessel that contains it. And it would, but for the tight lid that keeps it enclosed. Keeps it away from its source. If that thing of such great power could be allowed to see the light, to draw fresh breath and escape its case, then maybe hope could return once more. Maybe freedom could be tasted again. Love would be life, and life would be open, full, and welcoming. And isolation would turn to dust. But the girl knows not of this, only of the emptiness that is starting to consume her hope, and soon, her only way out. Will she be freed? Or will the emptiness inside of her overpower her, trapping her forever.
