Escaping the castle felt like running a grueling marathon. The prisoner ate a sweet wild cherry for energy and wiped sweat and blood from his nose. A classic wooden carriage stood in the moonlight. A startled bat fluttered out from the old belfry as the prisoner scrambled inside the carriage. Pulling a red silk ribbon, he secured the door. The road stretched out ahead; freedom was finally within his grasp.
