“The Microphone and the Small Dog at the Prison”  Pekingese was lost. Not physically, as it is impossible to get lost in prison, where your every movement is controlled. But, lost in purpose. How could life be meaningful when her dreams of fame and fortune had crumbled as her fraud was exposed? Now she was stuck in prison, fearful the other dogs would eat her alive. One day, the warden made an announcement. Local university students would be running a new program, giving prisoners a chance to learn podcasting. Instantly, Pekingese knew this was her destiny. Prison or no, the microphone would drive her forward. Moral: Even prisons provide freedom. (Fables)
