🔓 He's free. But freedom doesn't mean redemption.
De Lacy is out of prison—but the world he's returned to has moved on, and he's not sure there's a place for him in it. His past is a stain he can't scrub clean, and the man he once was is long gone. As he stumbles through a city that's colder, faster, and more indifferent than he remembers, De Lacy is forced to confront what's left of his dignity, his purpose... and his sanity.
A biting blend of black comedy and existential mystery, Out of the Cage explores what happens when a man re-enters society with nothing but a name and a shadowy secret. Funny, bleak, and painfully human, this 12,000-word short story mockingly captures the quiet despair of the "little man" fighting to matter in a world that barely notices.
Perfect for fans of Kafka, Camus, and dark fiction that mixes satire, grit, and psychological depth.
