Footsteps echo through the secret tunnels. I know they have come for us. There is nothing me and my fellow rebels can do but wait for them to approach and find our secret hiding place. The King's guards will have us executed in a second once they find out our plans of rebellion that have just been tucked under the boulder that Raufel is sitting on. There is nothing to do but wait.
Wait to be caught by the strict government that took over about twenty years ago. In 2053, this is what happens to rebels. They are severely punished by the powerful tyrant, and this is surely what will happen to me and all of my friends that have gathered here. I will be killed. Once they slit my throat or lethally inject me, I will be dead. Dead and Alone.
