    THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT.

    There has been no reply. Is our savior indifferent, or is he merely a nonentity? I surmised as much all along. My early training in Sunday School did me little good. Never missed a single class.

    If I am to survive, along with my hapless compatriots, it will be through the offices of deus ex machina.

    Otherwise, we are doomed.

    Are you out there? I've been calling . . .

    An open door beckons, urging escape from my prison.

    I stand at the threshold of promised freedom yet

    cannot cross my mind's blockade.

    I see Spring's newly leafed oaks, their canopy

    glistening and swaying,

    The forsythia and flowering quince all

    abloom, yet . . .

    Here I shall remain in my chosen

    prison,

    Dreaming of what I love yet fain

    can own.
