𓅃

My last post reminded me of something I read what feels like three lifetimes ago. I went looking for it and found it.

---

A. You're in a locked room. How do you get out?

B. Call for help.

A. No one hears you.

B. Look for a key.

A. There is none.

B. Dig under the walls.

A. The ground is too hard.

B. I give up.

A. The room has no ceiling. And you have wings.
