This is episode 2 of the Towers Of The Sea series.

Written by Barrie Herrold

The Walls

We built them ourselves
With sticks and stones and anything we could find
To keep the others out
Eventually the sticks turned to iron
And the stones became reinforced concrete

The walls were no longer there to keep them out
But to keep us in
Afraid
Paranoid
Ready to lay blame on anyone but those responsible

They left a long time ago
Up there in their towers of silver and gold
Looking down on us as we scrape out a living in the dirt

Some of us still know how to get out
Every wall has a weakness
Every system has a blind spot

There is always hope
There is always a way
