:55:10
The other option was
to just to sit there,
:55:12
blindly hoping that
somehow it might get better,
:55:15
and I just knew it wasn't
going to get better.
:55:44
I didn't want to look down,
:55:47
I was horrified at the thought
that it was just empty down there.
:56:09
I didn't put a knot
near the end of the rope,
:56:12
and if there was nothing down there
I wouldn't be able to hold the rope,
:56:15
and then I would fall,
and it would be quick.
:56:40
And I thought "Jesus, this is big!"
:56:53
By this stage I was
completely physically done in,
:56:58
staggering back down these
meringues, still desperately thirsty.
