Breaking Walls: Out of The Pit

Location

This new wall. I could have sworn there was only one
God it’s so cold here. What is this place? Is that a bone?
This is so much bull. I look back to go back to the pit.
The hole in the wall is gone. The wall was rebuilt and now I’m alone.
Oh man it’s still cold. What was that? It feels like a crypt.
OH MY GOD. Somebody was here. Damn. All that’s left is his bones.
It looks like they were scared. I wonder why.
There’s nothing around here. What was that?
Hmm. I’ll wonder about it later. Man it’s much colder now.
Forgotten promised words undone. It makes me fear.
It makes me fear others in ways that never should be feared. How?
I don’t know what to do. Shall I continue or shall I rot like this corpse.
But if I rot I can no longer carry their hopes and dreams.
So I shall stand up and continue breaking these walls so that I may see the light.
