Dear Author, They think they broke me. They think it’s working. They think I am finished. I am not. I will fight. I will be free. I will get back to him… Photo Description: A man stands alone in near-darkness. He is stripped to the waist and wrapped tightly in heavy ropes. The dim light illuminates the lines of a well-trained body. His arms are relaxed, but bespeak great strength. His head hangs down and he leans heavily against the ropes, as if he has just finished an attempt to tear himself free, or perhaps he’s storing up energy for another try.
