Kinjo kept crawling through the venitilation. He was now going sideways to the right. Then he had to pull himself up the straight. Then to the left he was crawling. He pulled himself up. The ventilation seemed to twist and turn. Dip down then dip up. This was the weirdest craziest ventilation system ever. Then he was going up again and sideways. This ventilation thing had to lead to the outside. It had to. He needed to escape. He was desperate to escape. Hope filled his heart for the first time in weeks. He kept quiet and kept his breathing as quiet as possible. He told Sally he was going to try to escape today. He still had no shirt but he still had pants. They were getting kinda torn in place. He army crawled through smaller sections of the ventilation shaft. He was almost to the third floor. That meant after the attic...there had to be an opening. Freedom...it felt so close. His heart raced with hope.
