ring ring ring.....
the loud volume of my mobile's ringtone woke me up earlier than usual in the morning. Still in sleep, I thought it's my boss from the copper mine... actually we had a hard day yesteday when the yesterday morning's earthquake broke open a new area of the copper mine where I work as a manager, revealing a underground chamber full of skelitons without head. Local mine workers were so scared that refused to work in the mine anymore.ring ring ring.....The phone rang again. I put my glasses on and looked at the phone screen. Surprisingly, the number of the caller is not getting displayed. Damn network operators. I picked up the phone and said...
"Hello...Good morning...""help meeeee...." a loud painful voice shooke me."hello...who is this?" I asked, thinking that it could be prank from my friends."I am stuck here, in the mine... oh god please please come and help me...I am dying here... oh my God..." the person cries."who are you, what are you doing there in the mine?" I asked, this time a bit scared."what's happening to meeeee?...oh my god....this is not real. this can not be...." the person's voice fainted."Hello.... Hello.... Are you there? what's happening to you? hello?" I asked in a very desparate voice."Dont come to the mine.... dont... dont... please..." the phone got disconnected.I was shaken by the call. The person's voice was noisy and too desparate to be a prank. I could not decide what to do. Surprisingly the call was not logged in my phone's incomming call list. I decided to go to the mine as my working hours will begin after sometime anyway.
I reached the mine 2 hours earlier. Today also no workers came. I wonder how my company will continue work in this mine without local workers. I have a key of the main entrance. I opened the small gate and turned on the lights inside the mine.I climbed down at the bottom of the mine using the makeshift hydralic lift. I have came here hundreds of times as I am the manager of the mine. But today no other workers are here, I am alone, so feeling a bit spooky. That damn phone call.... Some of my friend must be using those internet calling sites to scare me... stupid people.I walked and came in front of the huge crack which was opened last afternoon by the earthquake. the skelitons have been removed. behind the crack, there was the underground room which was hidden from the world from hundreds of years. I walked into the room. No lights have been installed here as no workers wanted to work yesterday. The torch in my hand is the only source of light here. this place 200 feet below the earth is silent in a very uncanny way.Suddenly the floor under my foot started to move violently. Oh my God, it's another earthquake. I tried to run out of the room to reach to the lift. but large rocks fall in front of the crack, and blocked my only way out.Suddenly I remembered how stupid I was. I should have never come to the mine without any assistance. I am scared. But tried to comfort my mind that workers will come in work hours, and they will get me out.I tried to call my boss for help. But no network under 200 feet of earth. two hours passed. I waited, no sound outside. what if workers dont come today also? what if the main entrance of the mine is blocked due to earthquake? I froze with fear. I remembered the phone call warned me not to come. What have I done? Oh my God.
Suddenly my torch went off. it was lit for last 2.5 hours. the battery does not have anything left. I am chocking. you stay in a mine for long time when the air filtering systems are not on, you chock with methene gas. This is my last day in earth. I wish I could cry.I put out my mobile again for some light. I was surprised to see that there is a little amount of signal. Suddenly I was overwhelmed with hope again. I immediately dialed my boss's number. my Boss's phone keep ringing for a while. finaly he picked up."Hello...Good morning..." my boss said."help meeeee...." I cried, I was chocking from methene."hello...who is this?" my boss asked."I am stuck here, in the mine... oh god please please come and help me...I am dying here... oh my God..." I cried, gethering my last remaining strength."who are you, what are you doing there in the mine?" the person in the phone said.Suddenly I realise the voice was not my Boss's. It's my voice. I am talking to myself, but in the past. "what's happening to meeeee?...oh my god....this is not real. this can not be...." I fainted."Hello.... Hello.... Are you there? what's happening to you? hello?" the other me asked in a very desparate voice, just like I did in the morning. I have to stop myself from comming here anyway."Dont come to the mine.... dont... dont... please..." the phone got disconnected.
