Symbolic Story

Everyone was lost in the building after something tripped the power. It seemed odd that for a place that often had regular blackouts that only one person had any sort of light. This blackout seemed off time in relation to the others. When trying to leave everyone came to the quick realization that the doors were locked from the outside. Immediately everyone looked to the man with the flashlight and the woman with the key to the cafeteria. Immediately people started looking up to them till they realized that they could be in that position if they could just get the light or the key. So people started to write letters and leaving them at the door acting as if the outside was trying to help them. Eventually the letters from the outside gained the people who wanted power in a higher position than those with tangible power. 

   The key and flashlight was meant to symbolize respected power that people couldn't really misplace. However when people started making false letters they put themselves in a place of higher power. The letters symbolize the power that could be gained from greed.
