B) Imagine that you fell down a mine shaft with nothing more than a pair of extra socks, some dental floss, a miniflashlight, a bag of pretzels, and a set of keys. You managed to survive for two days and then freed yourself. In three paragraphs, tell the story of how you escaped. Try to create a suspenseful mood for your story.
