The Prompt: The Big Breakout.

Beads of sweat rolling down his brown, hair on the back of his neck standing on end, he waited. He waited for the perfect moment, the moment that he would slip through the impenetrable walls that kept him bound, that kept him from the sweet taste of freedom on the other side.

He heard the authority call for him as he slipped out the small door within the authority's larger entrance and to freedom.

"That'll double time on the naughty stool for you, Angel Bunny!"
