Hello, friend
“If you’re reading this, chances are things aren’t looking too hot. But that’s alright – take a deep breath and focus. Today is special, as they like to remind us.

If you’re wrong, well… let’s not worry about that… You’re gonna do just fine.

But when the timer starts ticking and the Sunken start grinding their teeth out in the fields and you can hear them clackin and crackin as they inch closer and closer, well, maybe simple’s ok. Maybe you just want a game to play before they send you back down and simple’s just fine for that.
I heard one of us escaped years ago but who knows if that’s true, could be somethin they tell us just to give us hope. Anyway, it’s my turn. Wish me luck.”
