You shove the map and key into your pocket and hurry upstairs. “Did you put everything back?” Miss Munson asks. You nod as you dash out the door. There are several hours of daylight left. Enough to find the Piny Glen shaft! When you reach the main gates of the Anchor, you scale the fence and drop to the other side. Heading west, you walk for a long time over the uneven ground. Finally some structures come into view. They must be Piny Glen buildings. You pull out the map and study it. The Piny Glen Shaft into #4 west must be somewhere near. You scan the ground around you. Knowing there are rattlers in the area, you start to run towards the nearest structure. You gone only a few hundred yards when your foot plunges into a hole. A searing pain stabs at your ankle. For a moment you think you found the shaft, but on closer examination you don’t even have that to console you. It’s just a hallow, washed out by spring rains and covered with overgrowth. You inspect your ankle, which is starting to swell. When you try to stand, it won’t support your weight. You look around. The sun will set. You’ll never be found out here in the dark, you think. You start to crawl toward the nearest building.
