Stranded
“A long, straight hallway bridged the gap between the living quarters and the industrial area of the rig. If they were caught out in a spotlight in that hall, there was nowhere to go. No doorways, no windows, just a straight corridor with a watertight bulkhead door at the end. It was installed to isolate the crew from the hazardous substances beyond, but would serve as a perfect obstacle for a quick escape from danger on this side. It had dog locks like on board ship that would take time to open.... Only slamming it shut could be done in a hurry.
When Connor opened the door, Noah felt like someone pressed a rag soaked in gasoline to his face. The stench was thick and the air even tasted bad on his tongue. Although the industrial area smelled of crude oil and sulfur before, the odors had intensified. The day before, he had been on the verge of total exhaustion, his throat and lungs already burning with frozen exertion, and he hadn’t been paying attention to how unpleasant it was to breathe on a drilling platform.MoreLess
