THE STORY: Two men stand above a third—tied and blindfolded—talking to each other but addressing the third man. The insinuations and threats about what will become of—and what will be done to—this third man represent the forces in today’s world that stifle freedom in its many forms. The fear and uncertainty conveyed by this short piece powerfully remind us that the evils of the world will always try to conquer us if we don’t heed the warnings.
A strong indictment of today’s world in a manner both straightforward and subtle.
