Oh, who do we have here? Sergeant reporting with Ezra Solomon. Ezra Solomon, I have heard about you shooting up the ranks. A 19\-year\-old with pitch\-black hair and eyes, they call you freeway. Now tell me what is it you want Ezra. I would appreciate more opportunities to show my responsibility and skills. Is that all, well how does an apprenticeship sound? I would be honored, Sir. 

    Ugh, it’s so boring here. Why couldn’t I have gone and been given something more important? One where I got to be in combat, not just standing around at a place that no one even comes to. All I do is stand around all day, what am I even supposed to be achieving here!? What is so important about this lab? I never see anyone come in or out of it, well at least not through this door. The weather here is nothing to laugh at either. The cold burns my fingertips, why does it have to be so frigid!?  Even inside this freakin building, it's like a freezer 24/7. No matter where I go in this facility I can never fully feel my fingers. Huh… What’s that sound? It sounds like a plane, why would there be one out here? Maybe there is going to be a threat or an important visitor. I better just check into it to be sure so I’m not here overreacting. Ezra grabbing the walkie off his belt clip. Swiftly pushing down the transmit button. This is Ezra put me through to the main offi… blinding lights start flashing all over the building. Ear-piercing sounds ring through the empty halls. What! Why are the alarms blaring!? I wonder if it has to do with the sound I heard. That doesn’t matter right now I just need to get to the designated emergency area. Wait no I can't just leave there might still be people in the lab, I have to check. Access denied… Access denied… come on stupid badge just work!

      Emergency authorization granted… Wow, this is going to be more complicated than I imagined. Now what is this and where am I? I thought I came from this way. Wait no I haven't been that way yet. The blood is rushing through Ezra’s veins. I can't help but feel as if my heart is going to burst out of my chest! I have to keep going, I have to make sure everyone is safe. Anyone there!!? We need to leave! Hello!…

    Ezra coughing profusely. All I taste is dust and blood it’s so hard to breathe. What's all this pressure I can feel? It’s as if an elephant is sitting on my body. Wait what was I just doing? Why can’t I see anything? I have this sinking feeling like something important happened. Why can’t I remember, think… Images and sound flash back into Ezra’s memory. I remember bright lights and sounds blaring then…a large explosion! I Remember something must have hit the building!!! How could this have happened! What and who hit the lab! What is this sudden overwhelming feeling!? Suddenly piercing pain shot through every inch of Ezra’s body. Clenching his jaw tight almost to the point of teeth cracking. I feel wetness what is all over me it stings like hundreds of bees and paper cuts. I need to move to get this off of! But there is no way I survived the explosion without a scratch. I need to move slowly so I don’t worsen any possible injuries. Ezra pulling and pushing with what muscle he could move. I can only hear creaking and more dust falling. There is no way I am moving anything I’m completely pined. I feel the sharp points on the building pieces pinning me down stabbing every surface they touch. What if I never get out! What if they think I am dead! Who would even think someone could survive this? Calm down and think about your current condition and surroundings. It’s pitch black meaning I am down deep or covered to the point no light can reach. What do I have the ability to move? All I can do is partially move my left arm. Now what is this liquid all over me, I can feel it all over my head and most of my body. Because of the amount and coverage it’s not blood well at least not all of it or I would be dead already. All I can do right now is wait for someone to come.

    How long has it been, a day maybe? What else can I do! There has to be something I can do to increase my chances of rescue. That’s it make noise! I can’t move, all I can do at the moment is to yell. HELP! I AM HERE! I AM ALIVE! HELLO! I must have been yelling for hours now. My throat is like I’ve been swallowing glass. I can taste blood in my mouth and throat. Why am I trying this hard. With all these broken pieces on top of me there is no way anyone can hear me. Why would anyone think someone could have survived that. No one, no one is coming are they. Ezra started welling up then tears dripping and trailing down mixing with blood no no NO!!! Ezra screamed causing him to start coughing up blood. Ah my throat dammit, why why?  Why did this happen! Ezra’s eyes swelled with tears as he tried to catch his breath. I was supposed to be safe and easy.

     With tears streaming down his face he screamed and screamed over and over through the pain and blood. Till his voice gave out but still no one came for several days. Then suddenly movement was heard from above him as more dust and debris fell on top of him. What’s that noise? Coughing through the dust he…hel… help I can’t breath, I don’t have the strength to speak. There is no point in trying, it's probably just debris settling again. I can’t go through this again whimpering from hopeless I…I..I can’t anymore. I can’t waste my energy with something that might just be nothing. Why is it getting so loud? It reminds me of rocks scraping. Wait no, it can't be Light??? light! What No no, why is it going dark now!? No you can’t sleep now just when I'm going to be getting out of here! No don’t turn to da….
