Strange Awakening

SPACE MOUNTIAN

This was just another reminder ......... of the fucked up place we were in . It had no respect , or reguard for life . If anyone ended up in this place like we did ,you'd better had have your shit together and be ready for a fight.

" I guess we know why there's a ski lift now. " said Taco

" Yeah but how did we not see this or notice this cliff. " asked Janet

" I lost both flash light and my bat in that storm trying to hang on for dear life. So I didn't have anything to navigate my steps . I stopped here and Jeff walked along side me , then dropped his pack and it never hit the ground . " I replied

" I hate to say this , but the lift is looking like the sure way to travel right now . " said James

" Lets retrace our steps back . That way we don't run off a surprise cliff anywhere . " said Sterling

" Smartest thing you've said this entire time Sterling " replied Liz

" What are you trying to Imply " said Jeff with a little laugh

" Nothing just trying to lighten the mood a little " she replied

As we walked back to the ski lift chair I couldn't help but wonder what kind of sand or dirt this was . It wasn't like anything I had seen before. We kept a tight formation until we reached the chair. Even though we made it to the chair safely there was another very present problem. I waited for everyone else to catch up but I don't think they noticed.

" I believe the reason why we all think that the ski lift is the only option is because obviously it was built for a reason . Skiing isn't the reason but this thing has to lead to some where. Not only that but this will ensure we don't fall . Only thing is ....... this is a two seater . That being said we would have to untie and split up ." I told the group

" Things sure know how to get complicated in this place " said Janet

" According to you William splitting up is how people die in these type of scenario's." said Taco

" This is true and I agree with that , but the lift would obviously let us all off at the same point . All we have to do is be patient and wait for the next group of people and we should do fine . " said James

" That's not the only problem , if we make our minds up to go through with this the question remains . Who would be the person to go alone? " I asked the group

We had an odd number in our group . Which means that someone would have to go alone. Most of our confidence was in the fact that we had a nice number or size to our group. Figuring things out with more than one mind or responding to danger with more hands on deck gave us comfort. It was no secret that if something happened on the lift who ever was by them selves would have to deal with it alone . Not only that how would anyone else know they were In trouble ?

" Are we even sure we want to go this route before we put too much thought into this ." ask Jeff

" We know what's behind us and none of that could really be considered useful , if we plan on getting out of here that is . " Said James

Everyone looked and seemed to be on board with his statement . So now it was time to move forward.

" I think either James or my self should be the first one to go . Then one of the girls and Sterling . Another female and Taco. Then Jeff and either me or James depending on who stays behind." I told the group

" Why do it that way ?" asked Sterling

"Well I think either James or I could deal with being by our self . After that we start to bring the females but with man power . The last two should be just men . That way our main strength of the group doesn't split too much. " I replied
