The prison walls are towering, casting a long shadow over the lives of those incarcerated. Days here pass slowly. Time itself seems to warp and bend within these concrete confines.

A constant sense of suffocation hangs in the air. Every move, every interaction is governed by strict rules and regulations. Freedom is a distant memory, a whisper from a life long past.

There are moments of solitude, when the noise fades away and you're left to contemplate your own choices. But those moments are often short-lived. The reality of prison life is a harsh one, a constant battle of will and resilience.

It's a place where hope can be easily diminished, but it's also where some forge new paths. It's a complex, often contradictory world - a place of defeat, but also of connection.

Life on Lockdown

Abruptly the world shifted. We went from a life filled with freedom to one of isolation. Days merged into prison each other, marked by virtual meetings. The outside world transformed into a place we could only witness through windows.

Life settled into a new routine. Simple activities like going to the store or meeting friends became dilemmas. We unearthed new ways to connect, relying on apps to bridge the separation.

Yet, amidst the anxiety, there were also moments of growth. With less bustle, we had time to reassess our lives. We appreciated the little things, like a walk in the fresh air or a conversation with loved ones. We learned to survive in a unusual world, finding strength where we least expected it.

A Long Road

These unfortunate souls was issued a pair of shoes. They received instructions that the goal was to stride as far as they could until only one remained. The route stretched into the distance, a long line of dusty roads.

Throughout the walk, the weary travelers faced unyielding weather. The ground was challenging, and supplies were limited.

Weeks passed, the race took its toll. Individuals succumbed to exhaustion under the pressure, compelling them to quit.

Freedom's Price

Liberty remains a rare boon, one that demands constant vigilance. This a heavy responsibility to bear, a price we often contribute. The journey for freedom is never smooth, and always it requires the ultimate giving.

• We
value freedom must be willing to defend it.
• Every generation faces its unique hurdles in the ongoing battle for liberty.
