PRISONER’S GUIDE TO THE ESCHATON - Sierra Gonzalez

you know that part of

Oh the Places You’ll Go

where you’re in

The Waiting Place?

that hellhole of liminality

of sepia haze?

you must decide:

do you survive until you

escape The Waiting Place?

or let everyone hear you go out

with a bang

letting them know your name and

the name of the man

who imprisoned you?
