Another day - another in an endless string of days. I wonder how I press on.
The heat is oppressive. A dull red glow makes it difficult to see those around me. The air is still. A smoky haze, smelling of sulfur, hangs in the air.
From every direction comes an irritating "... tap, tap, tap ...".
... tap, tap, tap ... What is this awful torture?
... tap, tap, tap ... When will it end?
... tap, tap, tappity, tap ... My fingers are bloody nubs.
... tap ... When oh when will it end?
... tap, tap, tap ...
