❝ .. ❞ A thin, gloved hand reaches out quickly, without a word, and snatches the young woman by her collar. With a sharp yank, the poor lamb is pulled by the heels away from the curb and toward the brick building behind her.. just moments before the POUNDING of hoof-beats barrels down the cobblestone, carrying a carriage out of control, careening over the sidewalk and turning on it’s wheel where the girl had been lingering, crashing in a cacophonous explosion of splintering wood and shattered glass a few yards away.

You have chains, keeping you linked to something you'd rather leave behind. Maybe this is a bad family, traumatic event, toxic relationship... But something's keeping you trapped there, and you don't know how to escape it. You can turn the chain around, to help you instead of trap you... Can't you?
