Title: A Matter of Perspective
Source: Flash Fiction Challenge
Prompt: Write a story about something crazy.
Word count: 99 words
Insanity is measured by degrees, strictly classified by definitions, interpretations, and clever disguises. A tight white coat choked the evaluator, stripping him of his humanity. If he would only release himself from his strait-laced leash, he would see. He scribbled unintelligible notes with invisible ink and labeled my actions a Hail Mary call for help.
Nobody listened to the warnings I screamed loud and clear. Sometimes a hero must first rescue herself, so that night, with the walls closing in, I climbed Signal Mountain and sent my desperate S.O.S.
The mother ship answered, and I escaped this helter-skelter world.

Thanks, Charli. The captain is taking names and coordinates. There is plenty of room and the accommodations are wonderful. 😊
