The Honorable Ones: Philosophical Literary Thoughts

In the suffocating pit of darkness, she cried for help. Chains of s*****y and despair pressed upon her chest. Then she came—Freedom herself—stretching out her wings, pulling her upward. With every rise, breath returned, life surged again. "You are the only one who saved me," she whispered.

She touched his back gently, whispering: "What happened to you? You were not always this cruel."
