It takes longer than we thought to get up to the dock, and more than once, exposed, we see small troops of guards below, and wonder if they're looking for us.
The moon is invisible behind the orange-dyed clouds and my sense of time is beginning to slip. I don't know what time it is, how long we have. Morning has to be coming soon. I am tired. It rained fish. I killed someone with a bare hand.
I am tired. I am tired. There are people inside who are, I know, infinitely more weary.
I imagine the machines, the chains. We can loose these chains. But then what?
