hey




could use some water on your way back

Just two more days! And I just got a letter from Albert, the package with my presents for them got there early. I was worried it might not get there in time because of how crazy things have been...I sent it as early as I could, though. I've gotten so much better at knitting and sewing that I made everyone new winter clothes!

I also sent something to you, Father Mulcahy, I hope that also got to you in time.

Wait -- something's happening! Something's ...

The walls are just sinking into the floor, or ... oh, Dragons, I think they must have found -- something, did you guys get to the end, in there? Hello? Are you okay? Irving, Loki ... Leigh?

I think it's letting them out!

Well, now Leigh has been in there for almost two days. Does one of us need to go after her? We can't exactly give up on this thing, not when we need to get through ...

Irving, Loki, are you two still holding up out there? Speak up, please, we're worried. And shouting, if you want to give the exit one more try.

Why is this so impossible.
