Out of the Cage — James Dargan

De Lacy has just got out of prison. His crime is a dark secret he wishes to keep that way. Alone, he must find himself again in the world - a world where he used to be someone respected. Now he is little more than a human stain, existing because that's what one does when one's alive.

A black comedy/mystery story which mockingly describes the little man's fight against the rest of the world.

Out of the Cage is a 12,000-word short story.
