Alcatraz

Seventeen family members in
The Alcatraz cellblock.
Twelve had vanished into the depths,
Missing for some time.
Four children were with me.
Until I realized that one young one

Wasn’t.

I looked up to find a wave of humanity approaching.
The concrete prison was loud and disorienting.
I already felt lost.

I had a good idea where that child was,
But had a moment of absolute terror nevertheless.

The story ends well.

But even so, we exited soon after.
