Sometimes we have mental strings to that need to be cut too... don't you think?
A puppet without strings can still be a doll, although maybe then, a different master.
You write well. I enjoyed your story.

Oh yes definitely... in this story I feel that the puppet strings represent all forms of control that can exist between people, organisations, governments... wherever it is possible to be subjugated to another. Of course the story in its literal context relates purely to a marionette or puppet that seeks to be free from a life spent having its strings pulled by another, but in a similar way people can be controlled emotionally, mentally, physically against their will or better judgement; sometimes without their knowledge, and the story is intended to be read both at a literal and more figurative level.
True! Removing one form of control or master does not necessarily obviate the risk of falling under the control of someone else or falling prey to another vice.
Thank you for your kind words, encouragement, and engagement. When I get to write, I always enjoy it immensely and enjoy engaging with my fellow writers. I am happy that you appreciated my story 💖
