Ivana: The Outlaws Escape
Every day for the next week or longer I'm going to post a new section of a narrative poem/story. Look out for more! But here is the first section
IVANA
Imagine your life
now subtract cars,
add lot's of bikes instead,
add more government control,
and outlaws like in robin hood,
add family feuds and battles,
fought between the outlaws and the "legals"
yet notice the truth in the outlaws' sayings,
and the many things wrong with the "legals"
as well as the overreaching government control.
this is my world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The names Sharon,
or that's my name until you've proved yourself.
Right now I can't see much of anything.
Outlaws on the upper embankment
fully surrounded by "legals"
these search for outlaws to turn in.
Dead. Or Alive.
It's hopeless,
as I look around, I'm noticing an absence,
all of my friends are now gone.
Which means they're captured, dead, or escaped.
I'll follow route.
I've done this before,
so don't worry,
If I get turned in...
well, I won't think about that,
but it wouldn't be the first time either.
All I have to do is "fall off" the embankment,
and conveniently roll into one of the less well-peopled areas.
and play dead.
Generally, after the fight, the winners,
at least if the legals win,
put the captured in custody,
and leave the dead for about ten minutes.
Not to be nice, no sir,
they just need some time to deal with the living.
So that's my chance.
Unfortunately, they decided to dump all of the dead.
Put us in a room and deal with us later.
Thankfully I know how to play dead.
Once they stopped coming in and out of the room, I sat up.
Looking around I saw a window, it was unlocked.
Just as I was about to open it and slip out,
I heard a voice at the door, and a hand on the knob.
Think quick.
I tried to lock the door but they noticed.
So now I am holding the door, and opening the window while locking the knob.
no time.
Letting go of the door I jumped out of the window
into a pit.
No time later a young man jumped out the window.
He came closer to me, and I couldn't get out
please no.
not again.
...
check back tomorrow for the next scene!
