The water levels are increasing. Alby thought, looking up at the top of the bamboos getting closer as the burning sensation from where the hands grabbed him started again.
I already have a problem with water bodies, now this? I really shouldn't have come here with Toklo.
He touched the gem around his neck that he made into a necklace with twine and some knots.
Alby hid this gen during the mornings but wore it every night when he went out, in case he met Jel again.
But it's been a couple of weeks, three at the most, already and he did not hear a thing about Jel.
He even checks the spot the door appeared in but nothing. No one came or left the entire time he was there, not even once.
That man, he isn't dead, is he? Hopefully not.
Ugh! I should be worrying about myself and Toklo right now! Where is he even? What's taking so long??
I wonder, is he even ok? Or did he die? Am I going to die in a place like this?? With Toklo of all people??
