The weirdest thing about imprisonment is that you don't have the option to go somewhere else. In normal life, you can almost always just walk away from a situation you don't want to be in. It might be a drastic option, maybe even an extremely unpleasant option, but it is always an option. If you are at an awkward party, you can always excuse yourself and go home early. If you don't like where you work, you can quit. If you hate your family, you can abandon them. Even if you don't walk away, it is nice knowing that you have the option. But Prison is having that option taken away from you. You can't leave Prison if you don't like it. You can't go somewhere else. You have to stay there, within arbitrarily defined boundaries of location and space. The thing is, Prison doesn't exist only in the three dimensions of space. Prison exists in the 4th dimension of time, and you are currently in it. You cannot leave the present, even if you would like to. You are not allowed to go to the future, and no matter how much you miss how good times used to be, you cannot visit the past. Somebody, something, some force, call it God or the Devil or the Laws of Physics, has put you into a Temporal Prison. And you are stuck here now, and in five years, you will be stuck there right then. So stop asking questions about the future, and start thinking about how you're gonna kill the Warden.
