this cage for your own amusement?"
|

|
|
||||||
|
Clink! chimed the heavy iron key, which she must have slipped into the lock
|
||||||
|
while I was turned away. Without breaking eye contact the smirking jailer swung
|
||||||
|
the barred cell door wide open for me.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Trust me love, releasing you into our world will provide me infinitely more
|
||||||
|
amusement than keeping you here. You'll see. Come." she said, challenging me to
|
||||||
|
accept this inexplicable freedom. I stepped over the threshold, pushing myself
|
||||||
|
through a fresh wave of doubt. The whole 'amnesia' thing was starting to seem
|
||||||
|
questionable. I had a queasy feeling that there were no memories awaiting me out
|
||||||
|
there. That I would never recall my past because there was nothing to remember.
|
||||||
|
I was becoming increasingly convinced that once I escaped this prison I would
|
||||||
|
spend the rest of my life in the dark about what if anything had come before.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[[55]] The next few hours of my life were no less disconcerting. The jailer with
|
||||||
|
the lingering eyes passed me immediately into the custody of another, second
|
||||||
|
jailer who by way of contrast seemed to find me utterly boring. He had nothing
|
||||||
|
to say as he lead me down a long unlighted rough hewn stone tunnel. I had to
|
||||||
|
keep close to him and his feeble lamp to see anything at all but he paid me no
|
||||||
|
heed. At one point I dared a quick glance behind and saw the first jailer
|
||||||
|
standing exactly as I had left her, still holding her lantern and still gazing
|
||||||
|
at me with her leering smile. Why did she stay like that. Didn't she have
|
||||||
|
somewhere better to be than in this pit? Unnerved I faced forward and never
|
||||||
|
looked back again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As for the second jailer, if that's a fair title for someone who showed no
|
||||||
|
interest in jailing people, I got the strong impression that he had a long
|
||||||
|
itemized list of placed he'd rather be than in the dark with me. Hurrying down
|
||||||
|
the corridor I got only a glimpse of his young face and world weary, impatient
|
||||||
|
eyes. Our hasty, stumbling on my part, flight down the corridor ended at another
|
||||||
|
cage, I flinched back afraid I was only about to be confined again but the young
|
||||||
|
man stepped in himself and stood waiting and for the first time favoured me with
|
||||||
|
an actual look, of weary contempt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"This is an elevator. It's a thing that goes up." He spoke slowly as though I
|
||||||
|
was an idiot who didn't know what an elevator was. "It's the only way out of
|
||||||
|
here."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Ugh! I know what an eleva..." I started but by that point he'd thrown a lever
|
||||||
|
which created a shrieking cacophony of grinding metal gears and the cage began
|
||||||
|
to lurch upwards. I dove forward in a panic at being left behind. He didn't even
|
||||||
|
have the courtesy to sneer at me but closed the cage door with a tired sigh as I
|
||||||
|
tried to regain my composure.
