No Chance of Escape

Author's Note: Water flowing into an excavation site with heavy rubber suits are being worn, they can't swim in the water it was almost truly no escape.

Imagine being at an excavating a site ten stories beneath a sewer wearing rubber suits hardly able to move. While Lynn Rosellini was writing she wrote a short story that involves that situation called No Escape. Swaby, Kenneth Schofield and John Kanash were all together in an excavation site. Till all of a sudden water flooding the site and there is nothing you can do about it. Even though the only way out is by a man cage the crane driver grabbed the man cage and saved one of the men. Even though the rule was don’t go back he made a smart choice.

In addition, the radios are broke and they can’t communicate to each other for him to lower that man cage. While they lower the cage water keeps pouring in and it is almost going to drowning them. A man goes back to save his fellow workers, even though the safety rules say you don’t go back if there is a danger. If he would have wasted anymore time his friends wouldn’t have made it out and the place would’ve been flooded.

To begin with the rubber suits were a setback to them with the heavy rubber boots and rain suits. Seeing that they almost drowned they need to invent rain suits and boots that weigh less for them if they did that they would be able to have a chance to get out. If they did that they would be a little bit safer and probably a little bit more comfortable in those suits. The suits were so heavy they were stuck down there.

Likewise he made a good decision to go back and save his friends, their families were no doubt thankful that he went back to save them. When Swaby saved them they were chin level with the water; about to drown. Swaby was very intelligent for going back to save his friends, if he would stay hesitated more than 15 seconds they would have drowned.

All in all Swaby made the right choice to go back and save his friends. Swaby was a hero for going back; his co-workers were thinking they were going to drown before Swaby came back down in the man cage. Swaby saved their lives because he knew he could save them, even though there is a rule they should have it set under circumstances instead.

bullying on Venus

Author's Note: I wrote about this short story because this is a good story that he wrote and it was my best choice to write about.

Imagine being on a world where you rarely see the sun; you claim to remember what the sun looks like. The sun comes out every eight years and she remembers what it looks like; “I think the sun is a flower that only blooms for one hour; a penny; like a fire in a stove. I know the author thought, what if a human moved from Earth to Venus and the sun rarely came out and it always rained? Because he knew it that type of an idea had never been done before.

If someone was saying that they knew what the sun looked like or when it was going to come out of the clouds, no one should believe they are either lying or just guessing and not listen to them or at least take it into consideration. She is locked in a closet because of her memories she is locked into a closet while the sun comes out for the first time in eight years. If that did happen to someone everyone else would regret it later.

The sun only comes out every eight years and for one hour only; a short time for viewing the sun. If it was like that on earth we would need a lot more sun or we would need to take vitamin D instead. If it did rain for eight years straight Venus would be flooded because if it did not stop raining for eight years life would be on Venus. If they didn’t get sun in every eight years it would be a nightmare because it would keep raining nonstop and you would never be able to see the sun and have a break to the nonstop raining.

If there was life on a different planet just like this it would be unlikely because you couldn’t plant crops or raise cows. If the sun appeared rarely you would never be able to plant crops for food; you couldn’t eat. Even if you did have cows you would need grass, which it is raining for eight years straight. If that even was possible it would be hard to live, almost impossible to live like that.

I know the author did write a good short story, but it would be better if they included more details. He could have included how they lived, what they ate, how did they get food and what they did. I know the author can improve his story.
