After three whole days without food and hydration I was barely holding up and I still had not found a way out of this labyrinth, running from sounds and laughs from the dead scoundrels who doom me so. In desperation to escape and survive, I had to present myself in front of the gods.

I took Khufu’s wise sayings to heart and set out for home, close at last, and within a days reach. The game had just ended as Khufu uttered those words, with the crowd erupting in cheers as the Royals defeated the Mets, 5-4 in the late game thriller, winning the first game of the World Series. Suddenly, a tornado with more than 700 mile per hour winds struck the town and sent everyone flying so far and killed so many, destroying everything in its path.
