People know me because of my father,
he spent his time building for a Mad King
who was never pleased with the work put in front of him
who got so upset that he locked us up in the same lab my pops created
It’s the same place The Minotaur lives
that thing scares me
I can hear its hooven steps when I try to sleep
I have nightmares of it getting closer
My father tries to convince me that will never happen
that the bull-man is lost forever in this place
I don’t believe him.
In order to run from our punishment
my father built two sets of magnificent wings
They are beautiful, I can’t wait to use them
my father explains that I must follow him after he leaves if I want to make it out alive
I just want to go
to get away from this place
that Monster
I ask my father if we can leave today
he says no, tomorrow is when we take flight
the nightmare came to me that night
this time more vibrant and vivid than ever
The Minotaur stares me in face
it charges and Screams with both the man and bull part of it
It’s horrific
I woke up in a sweat this morning
this perfect day for flying
My father attaches the wings to me
I hear Steps
he attaches the wings to himself
the hooves grow louder
just after my father is taking off
my nightmare comes to fruition
The minotaur is rounding the corner
I’m staring at it now
muscles taut with anticipation
It’s breathing heavy
as if the air around it is thinner
it’s looking at me
IT’S CHARGING
Oh Gods! Oh no!
My arms and legs are jumping into action
I’m airborne
My arms won’t stop flapping
I can still hear The Minotaur
Screaming with the man part
Wait! Come Back! Take Me With You!
My body can’t stop
I’m climbing a ladder of clouds now
I can feel the sun on my back
I’m safe now
I can breath
I see my father, much lower, with a look of horror on his face
I wave to him
and fall
