Response to Jacob Robertson's Post - Trapped

Source: Trapped: A Fictive Memoir (by Jacob Robertson)

Would it be too strange to say that I would almost enjoy being trapped in that mine if I knew for certain that we would be saved? I am sure I could think of better ways to get away from everything, but there is just something about being isolated from the rest of the world that I think I would like.

Now, I know that they are facing some health hazards, and the living conditions can’t possibly be that great. It’s just that I would do pretty much anything to not have to worry about my day to day responsibilities for just a few months. Of course, being trapped in a cave with a bunch of dirty men for several months would get old pretty fast.

Can you imagine how tired you would get of certain people in that environment? There’s always that one guy that won’t stop talking. And then there’s that guy that thinks he is a stud and has to take over as the leader. Or, on the opposite end of that is the guy that won’t do anything to earn his keep.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I start to think that I would definitely not enjoy being trapped in a mine. Unless, that is, I’m trapped in there with the right company!
