A Prison Report on the escape of Daedalus and Icarus:

(the comments in between two * are the real thoughts of the writer)

Dear Head of Island Prison,

*I don’t actually know your name- was it Larry or something?*

I am writing to inform you of the changed status of the two high security prisoners.

*I hate writing. Id rather be outside walking and enjoying the view or inside tormenting prisoners. Anything but this.*

At 1:30 pm in the afternoon of the 26th of March, Icarus and Daedalus escaped by the prison means of wax and feather wings.

*How the heck did they escape on wings made from wax and feathers????*

We had suspicions about the pair of them as they requested a large amount to spent outdoors. This was ignored as Daedalus' health was ailing and the prison's contract (signed by all prisoners) states that any persons who are ill can request special privilages.

*Why do we even have that contract? Probably some stupid health and safety or civil rights thing.*

The spot that was observed to be favoured by the two was beneath the tree that contained a bees hive and a birds nest.

*I mean- how could we not realize? Every time we came over they stuffed something out of sight. Something large and wing shaped.*

On the afore mentioned date and time, a guard was sent to check on the prisoners and it was discovered that they were absent.

*I'm not even going to say why we weren't in the garden with them… (we were having lunch- Pete's wife makes the best meatloaf and Harvey brought in the pickle.)*

Two different sets of footsteps were observed to lead to the edge of the cliff and then dissapear.

*I told them they should have put a fence in. It was the bloody Association for the Protection of Prisoners Rights blah, blah, blah… *

Our suspicions are that they either escaped and are now living illegally or that they perished whilst undertaking their journey.

*I hope they flew too close to the sun and died, the mangy, bloody things*

The prison will be doing a full inquiry into the lax security and will continue to inform you on any changes.

*yeah right- we wouldn't even be paid for that. I don't think so*

Hoping you are well,

Your ever faithful, Head of Prison Security,

*what does that even mean?*

Richard Head.
