Long way down [07]

Aug 08, 2009 22:05

The little standing cart rattles down the tracks to the pit so fast that pulling on any kind of brakes might be a dangerous thing to do. Plus the only person who might know which lever is the brake is in the middle. Dr. Schreber can't reach and all he really can do is hold on tight to his cane. Before they can figure out how to stop the ride it comes to a stop all by itself. The tracks are damaged and suddenly the cart jolts and jumps off the tracks and they are flying free for a few seconds. They're just lucky the ground is not far at all and it crashes down and tips over, hard enough to shake them up but not injure them badly.

They're in a dark place. The only light is dim and blue and it's hard to tell where it comes from. There are big open tunnels and a lot of rubble still.

This is the second time in not very long that Dr. Schreber has been in a people pile with his heart going thud.
