The Way Out

          “Let me out, let me out!!” It's dark and I'm scared, and no one will answer me. I kick the walls with my feet, and pound them with my fists, but still, nobody listens.  Now the walls are closing in, and I feel like I'm going to suffocate. Then they start to undulate, and close in even more. “What's happening? I've got to get out of here!!"  Then I see it. There's a faint light in the distance, so I pull myself towards it.  It must be the way out--it has to be!
         "Congratulations!!  It's a girl!"
