((That's too bad<img alt=":(" src="./images/smilies/sad.gif" title="Sad"/>))<br/><br/>Lance coughs some from all the powder his pounding is kicking up. It is also making the air very cloudy making it almost impossible for him to see.  Normally he would stop and let the air clear but the grumbling sounds are definitely getting closer putting a lot more urgency into his work. He freezes when he hears his words come back like an echo but it was the eeriest sound he has ever heard. Worse he could tell what ever made the echo was very close to him. He hears movements behind him. He does a quick hard dig at the wall getting powder into his hand ready to throw it into the eyes who was there if they came any closer. Suddenly he feels  the hallway give heavy shudder. He jumps with a start causing him to just throw the fine dust out into the air. He now assumes the next move is what ever it is near him will try to grab him. He shoulder rolls quickly to the ground  and gets up quickly and backs away some trying to get some distance between him and the other. He stops and looks about nervously noticing he is not sure where his is or whats around him. The dust is still obscuring his view.  He doesn't want to be an easy target so he feels for the wall and when he touches it he starts to walk backward cautiously. "Look. I don't why you are here. I am just trying to get out of this damn maze. If you were sent here to stop me, why? Why are you being a puppet for them? You don't have to be. I have gotten out of worse hell holes then this. Trust me. Help me and we have a much better chance of getting free. What do you say?"<br/><br/>((I just wanted to let you all  know I will be gone on June 20th to 29th. Have a great week. Laters.
