Story Behind "The Prisoner"

The young man stayed quiet about his actions, sitting calmly with his hands and feet locked in chains. Every morning, he'd free himself from his chains, go about his day, and then at night, he'd lock his body up tight so he couldn't move. He had been doing this for some time, but nobody understood why, and nobody dared to ask. He'd never harmed anyone or anything, but his large stature scared people. He was scared of himself, too, convinced that if he didn't chain himself up, he might harm himself. So, when he was chained, he felt at peace.

Take home "The Prisoner" and let its story inspire reflection on self-restraint, fear, and the search for inner peace in your space.
