Everyone knew what this meant: 'Some idiot mined the ore wrong.' This one idea spread through every veteran, or at least read the manual.
' fuck to get thrown from one near-death experience to another, can Lady Luck please give me a break.
Panting echoed through the cavern as people tried to make it to the earnest chugger but-
—--------------------------------------------------
Then another rumble came this time stronger, causing a chain reaction of booms to ignite.
"We're so fucked" a randome bystander said looking back at the quickly approaching flame. Accepting his fate he got down on both knees and prayed.
To whom, we wonder.
The blaze was a tyrant showing no mercy to friend or foe, it scorched the caverns, the miners, even it mother. It was relentless, leaving husks of burned skin. The corpses looked like demonic beings fom te emptyness in each orifice every orifice.
Some say to gaze upon them is like gazing at the abyss, dark and unending. Probably why they sell for alot to some of the sadistic elites- they call it the rumble series. Naming it after the disaster that made them.
Honestly i wouldnt blame them the cavern looked quite exquisite, the scorched bodies littered everywhere, and looked like a masterpiece. One could still see emotions of their final moments and you could argue that each pose best represents one's true nature.
That why precuation were never set an just made it seem like that there are. And these guys were experiencing first hand the horrors of the truth. As some machines malfunctionedor suits spasmed out due to the overwhelming heat.
This was not a mine but a farm for art, but lets give them a benefit of the doubt they must have a better reason right.
Evil yep but who care aslon as those digit rising they're happy
like i said the motto they follow is all must work, even in death.
It reeked of death mixed with hints of hdmi. Screams could be heard from across the cavern, some could hear them only after the creator's death and when you hear it just know your death is near.
Some were hopefull- gritting they earth looking for anyway to live.
' now way im gonna die'
' my family still needs me'
'Fuck my search history'
A conclusion of different reasons but all desire one thing at heart and the last thing you want here is to trip.
And not only did it happen to a bunch- an idiot in pods seemed to among them
—------------------------
A couple minutes before:
'Saved by the crisis' only one boy was happy with this outcome- a lone idiot about to die for the dumbest of reasons.
He was calm for one reason only and that was they were on the mid level's , meaning it would take a while before anything came for them.
Though that idea only lasted for a sec due to the constant rumble.
' No way it's going to cave in right' a small pebble fell from the top crashing right on top of Kade, hitting him in the head with such speed it threatened to knock him out.
He moved his hand to caress the area then it hit him, an ungodly sharp pain travelld to every
nerve in in his body causing him to spasm in for a short while.
He tripped scraping his thigh in the process- it seemsnothing been going my way since that evil thought
'I'm sorry mr almighty-i didn't mean to take delight in others misfortune, i would never turn to the evil ways of the elites so plz bless me on my next attempt'
Kade heard steps or were those pebbles hitting against the stone floor, honestly he didn't know as his mind hazy from the jumbled thoughts.
he knew his time was running up, but still he wanted to live.
his vision was blurry figures mixed with dots moved freely around him.
His steps were sluggish like walking on air and constant rumble shaking the cave didn't make it any easier.
his breath was ragged loud and unrelenting- all people could hear was a dying animal in the background but no one turned to look as they didnt want to risk it.
Everyone had unamous idea of kade future:' dead man walking' wich is funny cause he's meant to be running.
Howeve dont think they cursed him out due to past grievances- no
This though was made due to them all catching a glimpse of kade state while passing him-
he looked like the picture definition off a crain- with the blood dripping down his face, the grime staining his equipment, his awkward stride combo with that lifeless face anyone would have thought his infected.
Jolting them from they're sombe state someone caught their attention
a lone man reached the vehicle and with it came a breath of peace and he reved it up- wasting no time he gazed upon his sqaud.
Surveying through he locked eyes with kade. 'Pity. A gaze like that meant he had fire. Hard to watch it snuffed out.' he sighed. "Im leaving in 10" he stated in a tone sharp as execution.
One by one each member climbed on. With every member the debris got bigger- climbing from; stone to boulders.
"Raven, mand the ship we're off" he said walking to a seat and went to sleep like nothing was worth his trouble.
Outside kade watched everthing with a conflicted gaze; one part understanding but another part pure rage- the fact they left him after all his done for them, pissed him off in a whole other way.
He gazed at the window ingraining the faces of all those he would curse in his deathbed.
Pete with his smug look- 'yeah ill start with him'
Rug with his oddly sadistic smile- 'matter of fact his more deserving'
Raven gave him a weird look- like someone horny or depraved, this left kade baffled, 'wait dont they both look similar in some areas'
'Atleast i get to join yous or i hope to because there has been alot of bad things i committed, but wait are ya'll even dead. Welp we love to gamble.
Closing his eyes- he left his body to the soft caresses of the cave. Its small pebbles mixed in with its rocks grazed kad leaving slit in their wake.
In a way this actually helped as the warmth from his blood was a mouth wattering experience however he didnt get to enjoy it for long.
His body felt weghtless and everything looked as if time stopped, last time experiencing that as stong gust of heat and sulphuric ar hit him like a train; fast and unexpected.
Damn the almighty was merciless; taking my eysight and as if I fucked his daughter went for my hearing. Death was a scary thing, why? Because poeple feared the unknown. then what about me.
Blind, deaf and about to die- shouldnt i be scared. His thought were definitely not reflecting his state. This boy was screaming his lungs out, tear, snot, you name it- he released it
You my good sir are not philosophical, and the least you could do is fit the part and die with open arm.
As if taking pity on him he landed in a pool of bore hole water in perfect diving form.
Leading to almost no harm, but still- he was tired and broken in every way.
'Live' the word replayed in his mind- beating like and obsession.It starte of as a twitch in the finger to statued movement.
Yep this guy was flatlining fast- his thought lingerd like empty wails the it went dark.
He embraced it felt cold but was oldy comfourting then it came an overbearing blaze burning him from the inside.
