A face would appear on the fence after he received her message. They will get into a waiting car and drive to an idyllic world free from crime, corruption, bigotry, and evil social systems.
The escape looks well-planned and easy.
Except that it was not.
There were no mobile phones or waiting cars when they tried to escape, and failed miserably.
They were shackled by their own value systems of always taking the high road, the straight and narrow path.
How outdated and idiotic does it sound? They are just losers posing as idealists – nothing more, nothing less.

Sad and frightening commentary, Reena. I like your approach.

Reena this is a sharp, biting critique of idealism, starting with a cinematic, almost fairy-tale promise of escape and ending with a cold, hard landing in reality🙌
