Customer service is terrible in prison.
I’ve been banging on the walls, the door, the ceiling, and the floor for ever! I stopped awhile ago. It was pointless.
They haven’t been back up to feed me yet, and it’s definitely been too long. I know because I made a water clock out of the stale water they brought up last time. Guess they didn’t like the noise. Ah well. More time to plan my escape.
My cell is completely windowless, and I didn’t see any light when the jailer walked in, so I must be underground. I can hear a sort of ringing sound when I tap the stones in the walls, so there’s probably another cell next to mine. Or it could be a hallway. But something feels really weird about this place. I can sense the presence of water. A lot of water. But it feels different; there are a lot of particles and things in it. That’s normal, but this is way more particle-y than any water I’ve ever worked with. I can’t tell what the particles are. Probably dirt. If it is, then wherever the water is, it’s probably just a bunch of mud.
It’s so irritating. All I need is a pern of water. (I think that’s a little less than an Earth quart.) Then I could bust out of here. The tricky part would be finding another portal. The regulars still haven't’ figured it out, but there are at least three portals in every square Earth mile.
Life is so complicated.
If I could just see the water, I wouldn’t be in this mess. And Krystal, the real reason I’m here, is probably fine. I bet she’s getting all cozy with Kyle.
Of course, they insist that they’re “just friends.” The sad thing is, the rest of the Team believes it. It’s way too obvious that Kyle can’t even stop thinking about her. And does he even look at me? No. Just my rotten luck that I spend almost 2 years crushing on him day and night, and he doesn’t even notice.
I don’t know what he could possibly see in Krystal. She so…weak. And she’s a major kiss-up. She has to be if Lorik likes her. I’ve known him for almost 5 years and he still doesn’t like me. Until Krystal and Aoife came along, he didn’t like anyone. Poor Aoife. He’s fallen pretty hard over her.
Someone’s coming.
