Buried Alive

It goes without saying, but I hope they can get these people out. Nobody deserves that fate.

The same goes for the Mexican miners too.

Being trapped like that has got to be one of my greatest fears. That, and getting my toes bit off by a snapping turtle while swimming in a pond.

I wrote a story in a fiction class in college about someone who was trapped in a pile of rubble after an earthquake. I got an A.

In that same class I also wrote a story called The Old Man and the Wiener Dog which was a parody of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. I only got a B on that one. I was robbed.

What does that have to do with people trapped under the earth? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
