It’s not as though I don’t have the time to think… To plan…
I might be short on the creature comforts, but if there’s one thing I have in endless supply, it’s time.
And the time hangs.
There are times I consider finishing it. It wouldn’t be difficult: to tangle myself in the chain and let myself fall into the fetid water.
But even at the end of hope, life remains sweet.
And I have a better reason…
Mitch...
When I think of Juliana’s threats, my throat tightens, my breath catches. My mind freezes over.
But I’m no good to Mitch like that. Or Jenny. So I don’t let myself dwell on it.
She’s alive…
If she weren’t. Or if Juliana had succeeded in committing some harm to her, I’m quite sure she would have told me. Almost certainly, she would show me some kind of proof.
She hasn’t. Ergo, Mitch is alive and well.
But Juliana is never going to release me…
The key…
It dangles from its nail, tormenting me with its promise of freedom.
I have to be patient, make my moves slowly. But I can’t afford too much patience. With the poor diet and unsanitary conditions…
… and the depression…
… and the darkness…
… I’m conscious that I’m no longer in good physical condition. And that’s only going to get worse every day.
Even the fetter around my ankle is looser than it was.
How much weight have I lost?
How long can I last?
I have to escape.
So… How?

“Morning, Mitch.”
Early Spring sunshine streams down on the sultry beauty. A large bag full of who-knows-what women’s paraphernalia is by her feet. A book pokes out of the top. Pregnancy For The Older Woman: All You Need To Know.
She smiles at me from her seat by her front door, setting a porcelain cup on its saucer. Mint-scented steam rises from the pale-green tea.
Cradled into the nook of her other arm, Cara gurgles, trying to point at the birds pecking up a little scattered grain. Her aim’s a bit off, still wobbly and uncoordinated, but she’s trying. As she sees me, she breaks into a gummy smile, then at the sight of Bear and Scruffy trotting along behind, she bounces and jiggles in Mitch’s embrace, little arms outstretched.
“You alright there? With Cara using you as a trampoline?” I nod down to the now noticeable swelling of her stomach.
“I'm fine. Just holding her until James arrives. He's having a shower after he and Jenny went riding.”
“You’re waiting for him?”
“He's dropping me off at the clinic on his way to the office. Jenny’s in the stable if you’re looking for her.”
“I was, yes. I'm at a loose end, so I thought I'd see if she wants some help with the garden.”
“I think you’ll find she’s mucking out the horses right now.”
The clip of leather on stone behind me: it’s James, freshly shaven, his hair still damp; suited and booted. “All ready, Mitch?”
“I am, yes.” She makes to stand. “Michael, could you…”
“Of course.” I take Cara from her. The tiny girl blows a bubble at me. I blow one back.
James heads for the stable…. “I'll just say goodbye to Charlotte…” … and reappears half a minute later followed by Charlotte.
“Okay, let's go.” James offers Mitch his hand. Although her pregnancy is showing now, she still moves gracefully, elegant on his arm.
“Thanks, Michael.” Charlotte takes Cara from my arms. Then, to her mother, “You're sure you don't want me to come with you?”
