Escape

Escape.....

.. ..

Finally we are breaking out of that battle arena.....

.. ..

Twisting, turning, writhing, flinging ourselves free; work’s grey shattered chains’ broken links falling behind us....

....

Laughing derision of careers spurned ring in our ears, the Bank’s iron massive plates clang shut inches after our passage; barely missing our legs as we pass and while we remain unscathed the lifeline is surely severed.

....

But we care not.
....

Tumbling smoking shrapnel trails of potential financial wreckage streak just behind us, barely missing, yet even then we have eyes only for the crack of light of the open sky clear ahead the freedom which we know might close before we reach it so we flee headlong....

.. ..

Even now the outcome is not sure, the success not promised, the entire desperate venture only a single last gambol against markets’ laughing volatility....

.. ..

All or nothing, make it or not; it must be risked; it is now or never....

.. ..

So breakneck onward plunging we flee the chaos, ....

.. ..

breaking out.....

.. ..

Breaking out....

.. ..

There is joy in this freedom, how we’ve been longing to reach that light which we now see ahead, within reach at last,....

.. ..

So we go, ....

.. ..

we chance it, ....

.. ..

we must.....

.. ..

Or we die.....
