JOURNAL ENTRY: SMALL EXPLORATION

Day 5: Going Up

“I think we can try to dig our way out from the top,” said Sean.

This seemed like a good plan, but it also appeared to be quite difficult to pull off. I didn’t know how we’d reach the ceiling. We didn’t have a ladder and it was very high up. And once we reached the top, we might not be able to actually escape. It wouldn’t take us very far and Charles would probably spot us and force us back to the prison. Again. I told this to Sean and his face grew very sad. “I’m sorry. It seemed like a good idea, but you’re right—I don’t think it will work. I’m trying to come up with a plan that would work. I want to get out of here.” He was upset.

“We all want to get out of here, and we will,” I reassured him. “Now we have both Molly and Esther helping us. I think the more people we have on our side, the better. There is strength in numbers and we are going to need all the resources we can gather to battle Charles.”

“You’re right,” Sean said. He went over to the hole in the wall and asked Molly and Esther if we could join them in their cell. We were going to strategize yet another plan of escape.

Molly and Esther had some ideas of their own. They wanted to make a hole in Esther’s wall and free the person who lived in the next cell over.

“There is a voice that calls for help all the time,” said Esther. “And the more people we have on our side, the more likely we’ll be able to fight back.”

“I think it’s Thao,” I commented. “We should try to get to him. He was Charles’s partner. He could be incredibly helpful, because he knows Charles better than we do.”

We climbed through the hole in the wall to reach Esther’s room. I stood by the opposite wall and spoke. “Who are you?”

The voice was weak. “I need help. I am trapped here and I have been attacked by hostile mobs every day. I have no energy and all they feed me is a carrot per day.”

“This is happening to all of us. But if you want me to help you, you must tell me who you are,” I said.

“I don’t see how that is important.” The voice sounded even weaker. “I just need help. Can you help me?”

Before I could respond, two blazes spawned in Esther’s room. She quickly grabbed a snowball from her inventory and threw it at the yellow beast, but a fireball struck me and I was destroyed.

I respawned in my bed. My friends were by my side. “Are the blazes destroyed?” I asked.

“Yes.” Esther smiled. “And we have someone we want to introduce you to.”

Then Thao walked into the room.

My heart skipped a beat. Although I knew he wasn’t working with Charles any longer, I still remembered the many battles I had fought against him.
