day 477
i lift my head up from marcus' shoulder to check on the baby. i lift the lid of the box up to see the baby peacefully sleeping. i lean back into marcus' shoulder, sighing in relief. marcus starts to trace shapes on the back of my hand with his thumb to distract himself. he does this whenever he gets nervous, and i don't mind. a couple minutes later, the timer goes off. i pick the timer up and press the button to stop the beeping noise. "do you think the creature's gone?" i asked. "let's hope so, or we'll run out of air in here," marcus answered. i go to open the hatch, but the lever doesn't budge. i try again and again, but the lever doesn't move.
i look back at marcus with a concerned face. he looks at me confused and we switch places. "you're just weak that's all," marcus said. i roll my eyes as i watch marcus try and open the hatch. he tried multiple times, but the lever still won't budge. "i'm weak huh?" i said sarcastically. i check on the baby once again to make sure it's okay. the baby is still sound asleep, making me a little relieved. both marcus and i lean against the walls of the tank once again, knowing there is nothing we can do. hopefully evelyn comes back soon and lets us out.
about ten minutes go by and i start to feel lightheaded. i look at marcus struggling for air beside me. i'm getting dizzy as i think of some way we can get out of this tank. i see marcus open up the baby box and take the baby out. "what are you doing?" i ask, in between breaths. "we can use the oxygen tank and switch between the three of us," marcus replied, holding the mask up to his mouth. after a couple of breaths, he hands the mask to me and i hold it up to my mouth. i take a few breaths and hold the mask up to the baby's face. marcus is holding the baby in his arms, while i'm holding the mask for the baby. i after a few seconds i give the mask to marcus, and we repeat this process for what feels like forever. at this point we are sweating and the tank is getting humid. i check the oxygen levels in the tank and i see it hitting the zero mark. i tap marcus on the shoulder, who soon realizes the same. i start to feel faint, and the next thing i know, i'm out cold.
