"groan!!!...."
Dexter's hand reached the opening of the well, and he strained it down trying to drag himself up.
"kids, go ahead first. I am losing strength and don't have much of it to lift all three of us up".
While Dexter was hanging unto the well's opening, Dana and Nadea crawled from his back, passing through his head and when they were almost to the top, they stood up and jumped off of his back.
With Dana and Nadea off him, Dexter now has the strength to pull himself up the outer space of the well. Once he got out, he layed his body down to rest.
"mister, the wound is bleeding".
Nadea called Dexter's attention to the open wound at the side of his stomach that is now bleeding.
"it must have opened up after the heavy strain I put on it while climbing my way up".
Dexter drew his attention to the wound to see that its surface had enlarged than it formerly was, and droplets of blood was now coming out from it.
