The Unhinged

There are barricades on all sides of the room.

Although the third seems more inviting than the others,it is guarded by burly ogres.

Their gruff voices bellow outside the barrier,giving me a headache.

There is a sudden stop to their deafening blares.

Before I could smile in relief,it starts again and all havoc is resumed.
