Here’s the prompt. I think this one’s a bit tougher than usual this week, but perhaps I’m wrong. What can you make from a string of padlocks? Something good? Something interesting? Something sinister?

Yo, everybody from Grade Four to Grade Seven, this is Joey Buttafuccio with another drop dead offer.
***Locks That Work***
Yeah, that’s right. You need a lock that works, you come see Joey, okay.
I got old locks, new locks, big locks, small locks. They all work pretty good and they only gonna cost you a couple of bucks each.
You know, being in Grade Nine gets me into places and allows me to meet a lot of people and I pick up plenty along the way.
Now, where you gonna get a better offer than that?
Come see Joey!
A collection, on a metal rail, could be a bike or gym bag, does it matter, they all served the same purpose, protection of treasure that needed to be kept safe, safe from those who may want it for their own purposes, but it is safely protecting, serving a function of what, who knows, I do have this one thought, where did I put the damn keys!
I was sure we would be stronger together.Any other possibility was ignored. How could so many of us not conquer the world? After all there is strength in numbers right? What eluded me was the fact that just because we were all locked into the same idea we really were all individuals . We set a common goal and got to work. Our aim was to make the world a safer place for all who lived here. Our job turned out to be making heaven a safer place . So we are together and St. Peter’s Gate will be locked evermore.
