Going Awry

Alcatraz

In the shadowy realm of their escape, the Anglin brothers and Morris navigated the maze with relative ease, slipping from their cells into the inky darkness. But for Allen West, freedom remained tantalizingly out of reach. His miscalculation about the escape hole’s size left him wedged, struggling against unyielding cement. Frank Lee Morris strained with relentless determination, yet the unforgiving material refused to budge.

By 9:30 PM, their time ticking away, Morris requested a glass of water. In the grim reality of their predicament, the heartbreaking decision was made—West had to be left behind, the ultimate sacrifice in their audacious bid for freedom from the inescapable clutches of Alcatraz.
