The drain cover gave out a soft creak as he pulled it free.
His heart was beating with excitement.
Escape.
Looking inside, it looked like a huge pipe.
He stepped in.
The pipe was more slippery than he expected. "Whaaa…!" he screamed as he slid down.
The pipe ended and he was thrown into a huge round tunnel, flooded by a human waste and garbage.
A SEWER SYSTEM, GREAT. he thought as the muck clung to him.
As he rubbed his eyes, sunlight caught his attention.
Looking up, he saw an open hole leading out.
AWWW, NORMALLY I WOULD JUST FLY UP THERE. he thought.
Climbing up the metal ladder provided, he stuck his head out and looked around, his eyes getting used to the light.
Escape was the only thing on his mind.
Escape. Freedom. The only thing he couldn't escape now was his body.
He squinted into the distance.
The forest lay no more than 400 metres away, separated only by a fence of barbed wire. Until he saw it.
A guard tower by the fence.
A shout broke the silence "Oi! He's escaped! There, down the drain!"
OH SHIT! His mind screamed. FAST, FAST, THINK FAST.
Adrenaline rushed through him.
IT'S NOW OR NEVER… his heart raced.
"OK!" he said to himself.
And climbed out of the hole.
