Those Words Saved My Life

For years I was held in a tiny cell. My only human contact was with my torture. For two and a half of those years I did not experience the glance of a human face, see a green leaf. My only company was the cockroaches and mice. The only daylight that entered my cell was through a small opening at the top of one wall. For eight months I had my hands and feet tied.

In December, the door to my cell opened and the guard tossed on a crumpled piece of paper. I moved as best I could to pick up the paper. It said simply "Constantino, do not be discouraged; we know you are alive". It was signed Monica and had the amnesty international logo on it.

Those words saved my life and my sanity. Eight months later I was set free.

a. hesitance
