Here we go again

 Undoubtedly, it was a tight squeeze. What else could Sadie expect? God knows how long it took to get to this hole which led (after quite a crawl) to the oasis that maybe was the climax or just another distraction.

Her eyes were full of sleep. She just wanted to pass out, but someone kept telling her to keep going. She was certain he stared at her butt the entire way. Although, she didn't even care. After all, the air was so moist now and humid. She wanted a shower. Even ice would do.

"Is this what we came for?" She asked once she got her footing straight and they both got to the bottom of the waterfall.

"Maybe, sort of." Naturally, Mannie was as aloof as ever. Sadie only sighed, thinking this better be good. You know, something like the fountain of youth or possibly something to do with getting the hell out of here. She would so take the latter.

She kept her hands on her waist, giving a look around. "Seriously, we need to take a break," Sadie said she was starving.

"Well, don't eat too many of those protein bars are you might get diarrhea," Mannie warned.

"Oh, just my luck," she shrugged. She opened one and bit into it. Although it was tasteless, she ate it anyway. She yawned then, thinking a good nap would do her good, but of course, being in the water would be even better.

"Don't!" Mannie warned as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"But why?" She festered a frown.

"Snakes."

She winced. "There's nothing fun to do here." She crossed her arms and was in a pout.

"Look, we have to go into the water soon or later," Mannie told her. "What we want is inside that waterfall."

"Of course, it is." She was being snide but she doubted he knew. "Please tell me there's a portal." Of course, she would have been happy for a porta potty.

  3. The ending is excellent: ""Of course, it is." She was being snide but she doubted he knew. "Please tell me there's a portal." Of course, she would have been happy for a porta potty." You're so talented at blending tension and humor!
