Leaving One Behind

Alcatraz

The heart-wrenching decision to leave Allen West behind weighed heavy on the trio’s shoulders, a bitter choice forged by the cruel hand of circumstance. Months of meticulous planning, camaraderie, and shared dreams now hung in the balance. But their options were stark; widening West’s hole would risk discovery, jeopardizing their entire escape. There was a silver lining, though, as their raft would now bear less weight, making the treacherous journey ahead marginally less perilous.

Their next challenge loomed: a daunting 30-foot ascent to reach the utility box. In this crucible of choice and circumstance, their fate teetered on a knife’s edge, one step closer to either freedom or retribution within the unforgiving realm of Alcatraz.
