The Story Called Bread
Imagine a prison. There is something you know that you have not yet told.
Those in control of the prison know that you know. So do those not in control. If
you tell, thirty or forty or a hundred of your friends, your comrades, will be caught
and will die. If you refuse to tell, tonight will be like last night. They always choose
the night. You don’t think about the night however, but about the piece of bread
they offered you. How long does it take? The piece of bread was brown and fresh
and reminded you of sunlight falling across a wooden floor. It reminded you of a
bowl, a yellow bowl that was once in your home. It held apples and pears; it stood
on a table you can also remember. It’s not the hunger or the pain that is killing you
but the absence of the yellow bowl. If you could only hold the bowl in your hands,
right here, you could withstand anything, you tell yourself. The bread they
offered you is subversive, it’s treacherous, it does not mean life.
