This is a very well written short story about being a prisoner to a life that is humdrum and full of monotony. I think most housewives can relate to your story. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

That's a good description of monotony! I had to smile, though, when I realized it was a Prisoner entry, because it's the story of so many parents' lives. I guess it can be called a prison, if the enjoyment of the family doesn't everride the feeling of being held somewhere you don't want to be. No, I understand your message; I've just been reading all these dire situations in other entries. I DO know what you meant, and it made me smile.

I can totally relate. You have captured nicely how our mundane lives can make us feel trapped. Sometimes it is hard to keep going and you wonder what is the point? It can seem like there is no end in sight. I remember one day bringing my daughter to swimming lessons. I was a wreck from all the coming and going. This elderly lady walked past me as I sat with my other younger daughter waiting for the swimming lesson to end. She smiled at me and said 'These are the best days of your life'. I had to laugh but she is probably right. There will probably come a time when we will give anything to go back to this time.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this read.

When I worked, I felt like a battery hen, travelling to work every day in rush hour traffic. Retirement brought a whole new life to enjoy. I feel your pain here.
Suggestion for the sake of grammar:
(There (are) pets to feed)

What a great prisoner poem. I get the ho hum of a boring routine day in and day out. Sometimes I just want to run away and leave all responsibility behind. Be free for me.
Well done
