Belly of the Beast

By Jason John Bartholomew

I carry my escape plan in my left pocket always, so when my surprisingly long streak of good luck does pops a wire, I can pull out my little nub of blue chalk and draw a hatch on the floor, slithering into the wires, ducts and tunnels in the belly of this Earth contraption mere seconds before the battering ram splinters apart my last false hope.
