Miner Situation
It all started 20 years ago…….a blue anteater is doing some routine check-ups in the mine. "Hmm all appears normal," sniffles said. Meanwhile, the rest of the miners are having their lunch-break, all of a sudden a huge explosion rocked the mine, the emergency alert system went off, the miners quickly evacuated the mine leaving sniffles behind, "wait!!!, don't go, please!, I'm begging you!. " "I'm sorry but I can't save you."
"You bastard I hope you and every last one of you burn in hell for eternity!" Sniffles yelled as all the other miners took off running. A short time later, the mine started to cave in, sniffles was buried, never to be seen ever again.
A few minutes later, the police, paramedics, and the media arrived at the scene. When the investigators arrived at the scene, they started questioning them on what happened in the mine. Nobody seemed to have known what started the explosion.
"This is Shirley Pole reporting first on the scene of the accident.. Huh, what? Uh, a press release stated that somebody may have been tampering around with the explosives and caused a malfunction and detonated. Its also in everyone's best interests not to waste our tax dollars on this search and rescue and forget about looking for the body, this is Shirley Pole reporting here first live at the happy tree mine, we also have late word that the mayor Lumpy Senior has closed the mine due to unsafe conditions"
A female blue, taller anteater turned off the television. " oh sniffles, how could they do this! Those bastards will pay for the shame, pain and hurt they caused to this family !" "Don't worry honey Sniffles will be back here tomorrow, before you know it!" A male anteater said trying to encourage her.
"Don't you know? The mine is five miles away from the happy tree town border! He's never coming back" The female anteater said sobbing on her husbands shoulder.
Slowly but surely, the mining accident slowly faded from the minds of the residents of happy tree town.
20 years later, present time the happy tree mine was re-opened for excavation due to the rumors of precious metals and gems, a team of 8 miners were dispatched for the excavation….
