Hostages of Hate
“Instead, darkness hit him — a terrible darkness, so deep he could see nothing. One moment he was groping along after Frank, and then came that complete blackness.

No answer.

Joe began clawing at the cave-in. Frank might be alive, but there was no way he could breathe under all that dirt.MoreLess
