evil paradise
by judester
The prisoner leaned his head onto the rusted bars and wept aloud. He gazed lazily beyond his windows as pewter dolphins darted between the waves with abandon and joy.
Beyond the rough coral rocks of his prison lay paradise. The endless ocean dazzled with silvery waves. Above, a brilliant blue sky cast him in gloom.
He began to laugh softly at the cruelty.
Lonely lavender sunrises and the fiery sunsets only tormented him daily.
His crazy laughter now echoed around his dusty tomb, heard by no one as he descended into madness.
Imprisoned in a prison of stone, overlooking paradise.

Thanks to cleo85 for the artwork. There was a crumbling coral prison on an island off Zanzibar. I thought that it was the ultimate in cruelty. To be surrounded by paradise yet trapped in a stone prison.
