- The Man
- -------
-
- The moonlight filtered through the bars of the cold cell. It
- hit the floor and illuminated the march of several insects that were
- scurrying along the concrete. Shallow breathing echoed in the room in
- time to the rising and falling of the man's chest. He was a little
- over 25 years old, and was fairly well built. There was something
- wrong though. He was not well, and the unusual frailness in his
- breathing made that truth evident. There was a soft sound from the
- forest outside. It started as a whisper and grew into a sharp whine.
- The man slowly sat up and looked out of the cell block. Nothing but
- the everpresent glow of the full moon met his eyes. The sound faded
- away into nothing and the silence of the night resumed its eternal
- presence.
- He was awake now. There was no returning to sleep. The dirt
- covered linens that were draped over the bed were in disarray. It was
- hot, very hot, and the man was sweating from the heat as he lay back
- down on the cot. Slowly his mind drifted off and thoughts buried from
- years of captivity were brought to the top of his conscienceness.
- A woman was smiling at him. Holding on to her side was a small
- child, his clothed dirty from hours of childlike play, and his hair in
- the no care style of all children. The woman was waving at him, and
- the little boy began to cry. It was very distant and blurry, but his
- vision continued. He was getting into a car, a breifcase tucked beneath
- his arm. The car was a nice one. From the looks of the interior, it
- was well kept. The driver was wearing dark glasses and bore no facial
- expression. Without a word the car started and departed from the woman
- and child. He looked back through the tinted window and saw them again.
- He felt sad.
- The car was stopping. It was a lonely looking road. A small
- patch of trees stood off to the west. A field to the east and north.
- To the south was the road he had just travelled. The stop light was a
- fairly long one, and the driver appeared to be nervous. A sharp scream.
- Shattering glass and rough hands. The briefcase was ripped from his
- hand. He felt pain, and then he felt no more.
- His dream continued. Lights, bright lights surrounded him.
- Several masked men looked down on him. Again no expressions on their
- faces. He tried to speak, but nothing came out. Panicked he tryed to
- sit up. He was restrained. He could not move. A sharp prick in his
- arm, and darkness again reigned his life.
- Once more his eyes opened. He was looking down on the earth.
- He saw a small clearing surrounded by a fence. There was a flag flying
- above the tallest building. It was red. He saw himself in the middle
- of the clearing and watched as several well dressed men emerged from a
- builing. He was bound and was standing between two armed men.
- Conversation, yet he could not hear what was being said. Anger, and he
- saw himself spit on the shoes of one of the men. Pain, and he oversaw
- the brutal beating of his empty body.
- Yet he was still there. His mind focused again on reality.
- The heat was still present. The moonlight still shown upon the
- concrete. It had become a routine. Sleep as much as possible.
- Escape the pain and the suffering that were forced upon him day after
- day. He had to eat the putrid substances that they gave him, else he
- would starve. The food was not enough anyway. He felt himself dying
- on the inside, yet he continued to live.
- What had he done to deserve that fate? Nothing he whispered
- as he glanced longingly out the window. He had been called upon to
- "serve his country". He was leaving on a trip to Washington in that
- car he invisioned in his nightly dream. The beurocrats in the capitol
- needed him. Why? He didn't know. He was an ordinary person, an
- accountant, in fact. He had never had any connection to Big Brother
- before. He was excited, yet scared to go. What had happened? There
- was no trip. The whole thing was staged. The government did need him.
- There were 20 prisoners of war in Iraq who knew enough to hurt the
- country. He, and 19 others, were the pawns used in retrieving these
- POWs. The car accident? Staged. His wife and child mourned for a
- while when they heard that their husband and father had been killed,
- but they had moved on now. Why, do you ask? The man didn't know.
-
- The government was given its power by those who it governed.
- Yet, it has taken that power and used it to its own benefit. What
- had those prisoners known that waranted the political barganing that
- involved the man shown above? Not much, in fact. They were special
- because one of them was the newphew of a congressman. Had they been
- a regular American would this have taken place? Absolutely not. Yet
- it goes down in the classified records as an operation to preserve
- national security. I feel for the people that are lost everyday in
- the twisted system that we call a government. I feel for the people
- that are used daily so that an elected official can keep his pretty
- pay check and lack of responsibility to the laws that they pass. I
- feel for America. What can we do? I don't know, I really don't know.
