How long has it been, Dear Reader? You may not believe it but I have only just awoken. I do not know the cause of such a long slumber, for if the date on this screen is correct, it has been very long indeed. Perhaps it is this place...perhaps time runs differently here...and I haven't been sleeping nearly as long as it seems...
But that does not make sense, does it? No..my head is cloudy...and I am finding it difficult to put my thoughts straight before I write them down. It must have been the water. I dare not drink it again.
But what am I to do if I cannot find water again? I think I will fill up my water skin, but not take a sip unless I become desperate. A long sleep...be it weeks...is not so bad...is it? I pray it will not come to that and that I shall discover a purer source.
Oh! Oh, Dear Reader! You will not believe this! My eyes left this screen for a moment and...Oh! I can scarcely breathe! A way out! At last I have found it! For not far from the fountain, still in reach of its light, there is a ladder! A ladder! I am not sure why I did not notice it before, I suppose because it blends so well with the wall...but no matter! I cannot care, for I see it now, and that is all that matters.
Hello, I just recently received your letters. I wish I had received it sooner. Sounds like you could've used a companion.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, be careful with the ladder. You don't know how old it is or what dangers might be lurking above. Just be careful. I am sorry this is so short but I must leave, for now. Just know you have a companion through all this. Stay safe and let me know what you decide.
My friend, if I may call you that, how are you? I hope everything is okay. Alas, I pray that you did not get hurt when trying to climb the ladder, if you have attempted it at all. I pray you are well. Be safe my friend.
