Just me. All Alone.
Not a prisoner, hiding in the chamber of my mind.
I retreated to the safety of my thoughts. Of course they found me there, but that had been inevitable.

I’m always surprised myself when peeps manage to barrel their way into my thoughts! Can’t they see the closed thinking expression on my face?? (: Awesome piece.
Thanks.
Both creepy and sad. A delicious combination.
Cheers 🙂
An interesting take & so true:-)Well done.
Thanks muchly
Very good!

me, myself, and I . . . sometimes those are the three most important people. 🙂
Too often though they are the ones who receive too much attention at the expense of those we love or those we should be loving.
This is a very good 33 words

Hate when they find me! You make the chamber sound anything but safe.
It isn’t safe…and I knew it when I hid there!
Sounds familiar. If I want to retreat I have to leave and check into a hotel. Great piece.
Hopefully not too familiar. I meant this as a psychological thriller…who are the people who find the person? What are they hiding from?
Most seem to have taken it a bit more lightly which works as well 🙂
In university, I had a weekly, 3 hour Philosophy class in a round room, no less. One time, the class began with the Professor excitedly telling us that he had received the most remarkable essay from one of us and, in particular, a sentence that absolutely blew his mind. The sentence was, “I am afraid to be alone with my thoughts in the dark.” Thanks to your story, I am right back in that round room at Ryerson U. in Toronto. Thanks a lot! 🙂 Btw, it was not I who authored the mind-blowing sentence but I was there for the whole three hours while we discussed and analyzed it.
Reassuring :s
Sammy I liked this, the want to escape within ourselves to acquaint ourselves with our thoughts, solitude, peacefulness. Well done.
I was hoping it was less a want and more a requirement! In the story I intended the person to be running and hiding from something.
I guess it works at the level you suggest too.
Thanks.
That inevitability comes with my second cup of coffee in the morning. Thanks!
You’re welcome
My thoughts exactly. lol Good composition. annbennett2.blogspot.com
Great minds…hide alike!
They always find us, don’t they? I liked this!
Thanks Tina
Nice one.
A short acknowledgement befitting a 33 word challenge. Thanks 😉
Retreated to the safety of my thoughts. Neat.
Turns out it’s more poetic than I thought when I composed it. Thanks
If only I could keep that quiet space mine. But, yes, they always find me.
It’s a temporary measure…otherwise I think it’s called insanity!
They will always find you. A great piece of writing.
If we could never be found in there then we’d probably be insane. Thanks
