A waiting slave

At 9am I got a text that had one word............................

'slave"

I waited for the rest of the text, thinking he had mis-sent it. I waited and waited and waited and there was nothing.

At 12 o'clock I got another text but couldn't read it. I could hear it going off, but couldn't access my phone for about one hour...well seventy six minutes to be exact...actually seventy six very long minutes...and when I finally got to it ..............................it was one word......................

"slave"

And now six hours later I have received another one...................

'Ready?"

And do I know what I am to be ready for....no I don't...am I twisting myself in circles trying to work it out..................no, I'm not.............that has been a long hard and often painful lesson, but one I have learnt......

And now I wait to find out....but as to how long I wait....................I will see.
