Trapped - Figuratively or Literally Short Stories: Everything from people buried alive to those stuck in loveless marriages‪…‬

In this volume we explore that difficult situation where lack of choice is your only choice. We feel trapped either by the body or by the mind.
Our classic authors put their characters in positions that we can all relate too, and then devise fiendish and uncomfortable ways to deepen the malaise or perhaps offer some sort of escape, however temporary.
