"THE THREADINGS OF FREEDOM"

The prisoner was tall; he was of about 5 feet 10 inches. Light complexioned that is now turning pale and reddish long face for overstaying behind the bars. He was obviously bearded. On turning around to answer the call of the warder from the cell room it was Mr. Tony Barabas!

On Saturday the couple went to a cinema to watch a play entitled: the missing brother. A true life story based on the story of a twin who was taken up by a white man from Africa; the task master returned to Europe during the era of slavery. The twins were birthed for him by a black woman, whom he raped. The white task master forced her when her husband went out to work in a sugar cane plantation.

With the romantic ambience of their bedroom; it was a great way to end the weekend for them both. Tony had brought in rose flowers into the room, the candle lights burning so blue on its stand. A romantic soft music was on the underground.

The new week started chaotic on Monday morning when Mr. Barabas was getting ready to go to work. The Baby's diaper was wet as the winter breeze. She had asked for an excuse from preparing the breakfast, while Tony
