Keys Flung, Car Caged: A Locked-Out Lament
Sweat beads form on my brow as I stare at the metal prison that is my car. The keys, those tiny symbols of freedom, are gone, flung into the abyss somewhere between my house and this space. A groan escapes from my throat, a lament to the universe for its cruel ploy.
My phone is useless. No signal, no charger, just a dead weight in my pocket. Around me cars zoom past, oblivious to my plight. They're filled with people who have their keys, their freedom, their lives.
What will I do? Who will save me from this metallic tomb? A wave of frustration washes over me. I am trapped, a prisoner in my own machine, with nothing but the mocking sunlight and the sound of my thumping heart for company.

It happened so fast. I had sped errands and parked my car at a random spot. When I returned the car, I discovered my keys were missing. Panic started spreading like wildfire. My phone battery was almost depleted, and help seemed a million miles away.
I tried every possible scenario: checking my pockets, looking under the car mats. Nothing. My mind raced feverishly. I felt utterly confined inside my own car, like a prisoner in a metal cage.
