Monday Mechanical CLub
Stories from the Borders of Sleep
This is a story about a stenography machine, and an unusual group of people who meet in a basement .... http://www.bordersofsleep.com
info_outlineI adapted this story from one that appears in the writings of Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian Christian pastor who was imprisoned by the communists for his faith. He spent some 14 years in prison, much of it in solitary confinement and enduring torture on a daily basis. He was beaten so badly he was never able to wear shoes again. In spite of this he has written some of the most profound and powerful stories and sermons I have ever read. He was a master of the parable and this one, about a caged bird, is just one of the many that came to mean a great deal more to him, no doubt, as he lay in his cell.
The sound-track is from David Modica's album "The Waters Wide" - available from magnatune.com
