Zenos wakes up and he found himself lying in cold floor in a dark room . It was so silent, he can even hear his heart beating and insect crawling.he stand up and check the surrounding, it was small prison with a steel door at front.this situation reminded him of one day that he was fallen in a dark sinkhole. there was no food to eat and no light source. crying in fear and pain or screaming and beating the ground so, someone will hear and come to save him was of no use. after 1day in dark sinkhole he was starving and with his hungry instinct he find any edible thing that was able to fill his hunger in group of fallen leafs and insect. he pick it up and started eating from the ground. after 2 days he can see little so, he gather the dry leafs than he make fire using the method his grandma taught using two rock. strike the rock together very hard and fast to create a spark in dry leaf to burn dry leaf then he throw his clothes in to make fire widen the fire so, the outside people can see the smoke created by this fire. so, they will come to save him.after the while he hears his grandma voice saying"ZENOS WHERE ARE YOU ? ARE YOU HERE ? "pant * pant*. zenos eyes were filled with tear's as he shouted"YES!YES! I AM HERE GRANDMA!I AM HERE! " wahhh! wahhhh! grandma throws the rope inside the sinkhole and saying zenos to catch the rope and climb out. after coming out of sinkhole he buried his face in his grandma thick cloth and started crying.grandma pat his head and says"you have done well. you have done. i am here. i will not disappear. i will not ". that day his grandma says that you used your mind, you didn't giveup and make fire and because of fire i find you . as you can see that crying doesn't help here instead calm mind helps. zenos understand it as he experience it himself.

after a while he hear a footsteps of someone getting closer to his prison. Zenos shouted "why are you doing this I said i don't need this jobs"he open a small window on the door and throw the something inside and left. it was raw rotten chicken with nothing only bone with little meat stuck to side with very foul smell.he remember his grandma words.that even in hard times there is always a way out. he sit down still and take deep breath and think calmly a way out of this situation shouting won't help and even he somehow broke the door he won't be able to escape and i am still alive and kept in prison means they want something from me.he started to feel slightly relieved from stress. when he woke up at starting he doesn't know what was what he confused and afraid now the more he thinks the more clear the situation becomes and hopes to get out of this mess.he make his resolve his mind in escaping this prison and strongly believe in his grandma words that there is always ways out and started increase his chance to escape as much as possible, he grab the the rotten chicken and started eating with what was left in it then he keep the bone in his mouth between his teeth and bite it with all his might and the bone broke to 2 pieces and he keep doing it till it was small enough to be eating with no major internal injury. This strengthen the bone of zenos and to digest large amount of bone the indestine release large amount of acid and its intensity increases.

zenos was given rotten chicken, fish or cow meat with bone every 2 to 3 days later. he keep his mind calm by thinking good moments with her grandma in days when his grandma was alive and strongly believing in grandma words and try different poses that helps the blood flow smooth and get less hunger. that's how 1 week passed.

after 1 week

In the past week zenos keep his eyes wide open for whole week without sleeping and now he can see in dark. He figured out that he can't exercise cuz there is not enough food. At starting there was lots of water coming out of his eye but he collect the water in hand drank it.at one point blood comes out of his eye but he still doesn't close his eyes he doesn't change his routine and this make his eyes resistance to dust particles. Now he is very sensitive to sound cuz he was sitting still in middle and hearing everything going around him

he can hear everything in 5m radius and determine there location. he hear a small Snake and centipede he had drool at the of eat fresh snake. He see a snake and centipede fighting each other. I thought that snake will as he has advantage in size. but the results was different the centipede was faster the snake wasn't able to bite it and the centipede never give up he run and run and find the blind spot and bite the snake it keep on going till the snake died with poison of centipede and zenos get three insight from this fight that never give up, even its small keep it up and you will reach the goal and the world is cruel even if you are big and got power you never know when you will die. that has never ever thought of that he would be kill by a centipede, by seeing this he get more confident and thought he wasn't trying enough and thought that he need to be resistance to poison or else same fate as snake will be waiting for him.
