Dear diary,

My day it started like this.

I was doing the normal work when I realized that I can become a swagman. So once I have done building the house for the government, I had to think of a plan to escape. This is what it was.

Wait till the guard falls asleep

Sneak out of the prison cell by getting the key.

Go to the guard's room and take clothes, pots, food, water and put it in the guards  then I make my move to escape 

For this, to work I used a map I made the prison 

I waited and waited and when it hit 3 am I made my move. I  saw the keys, but I just couldn't reach. 

I looked around to see what I could use. Then I saw  Adam, the missing part of my plan. He's sleeping on the ground, and he had some sticks in his pocket plus he has the longest arms. So I woke him up. I had to covered his mouth so he didn't scream. I point at the keys. He Nodded.

He got up, grabbed his longest stick and hooked the keys through the bars. We open the cell door slowly so we wouldn't make noise. They didn't feed us well, but we would not have fit thew that gap we made if they did feed us at all. Soon as we got past the guard I dash into the guards' room and he followed. I grabbed the first guard's  backpack and clothes. Adam went for weapons. I think he wants to kill someone.

I knew that the second guard is also a cook and kept his pots and pans in his room.

Adam and I dash to guards two room but we saw that the second guard was awake! I freeze but Adam drops the weapons and runs. Normally he is the brave one but never seen him like this. He turned around and saw a female looking face. He is not a boy she's a girl dress up as a grad,  from the other side of the prison, trying to escape as well. 

I whisper" who are you?" she shut me down and passed me a note. Long story short the note said join me. I nodded back and we continued to get everything in the room. Soon we dashed out of the guard twos room and then we saw it, we saw an empty bottle of whiskey on the floor, we heard big footsteps, we looked up, the head grad was standing there. He saw us and looks mad, and then he spoke, he said "you taking the prisoner for a walk?" he was clearly drunk. "Ahh... yes sir, he has been a pain lately." said the women. We stood in silence for a couple of seconds, then he goes "well go on!" we took some steps to the door when we heard "hay where you goin?!" we looked and saw the second guard and ran. "What going on?" head guard said as we were running away. the second guard replied "their prisoners are running away,'" I was so close but the laddie wasn't, so then I grabbed her and took, her with me. And when I thought we were about to make it I hear a voice yell "sound the alarm they trying to escape!!!" I put the lady on my back and she gave me a gun. I think she had a gun too but I could not see her. I was a fool to put on my back because we had to fit through the door and get over the wall. The guards came and were shooting at the lady, and the door was coming up so I said "grab my legs" so she did and I grab hers and we fitted. She got back up and shut the door but there were more guards outside. I got my gun and fired everywhere. I saw the wall. I said to the lady "be ready" then she said "for wh..." before she finished, I chucked her over the 8 feet wall, after that, I climb up the ladder with one arm and while the other was shooting from above. I got to the top and jumped to find the lady in pain. I picked her up again ran into the forest.

Leaving the guards cursing, I don't know what the guards were thinking but they should of went over the wall and tried to get us. Oh well. I ran for hours straight and when I could run no more I found a river with a freshwater form where ever the waterfall comes from. I drank some and settle down. I look at the lady and she has passed out. I can't see what the pain was but I think she passed out because she got hit on the head. Now I going to have my last sip of water and fill up the 2 water bottles for her to drink when she wakes up. Once that's down I will have a nap with a shotgun next to me, ready to fire.
