Keys Flung, Car Caged: A Locked-Out Lament
Sweat beads bead on my brow as I stare at the steel prison that is my car. The keys, those tiny symbols of freedom, are lost, flung into the abyss somewhere between my house and this space. A groan bursts from my throat, a lament to the universe for its cruel twist.
My phone is useless. No signal, no charger, just a dead weight in my pocket. To my left and right cars zoom past, oblivious to my plight. They're filled with people who have their keys, their freedom, their days.
What will I do? Who will save me from this metallic pen? A wave of desperation washes over me. I am trapped, a prisoner in my own vehicle, with nothing but the mocking rays and the sound of my thumping heart for company.

I tried every possible scenario: checking my pockets, looking under the cushions. Nothing. My mind raced feverishly. I felt utterly confined inside my own car, like a prisoner in a metal cage.
