Selah Joy (14)
caged
on every side, columns. staves of prison that rise above and around you, trapping you
within an enclosure of bleached white, a colorless shade that is all you have seen for the
past days
weeks
months
years
God only knows how long. nothing but these gargantuan ribs, the sole remnants of some
long-dead creature, spiraling outwards in rows upon rows until no glimpse of any world
beyond them can be seen
what an inventive way to drive a person insane.
Selah Joy is a homeschooled ninth grader living in Hawaii. Reading and writing are her favorite pastimes, but she also dabbles in photography, plays various sports, and practices martial arts. On most sunny days, she can be found at the beach, two books next to her in case she finishes the one in her hands.
