Time Traveller

"Come on!" You shout to the Sheriff. "This mine cart will get us out faster!"

You leap into it, and the Sheriff climbs in too. You give the mine cart a good shove using a wooden plank, and start speeding down the track. You duck your head, and hold on tightly as the cart swerves pracariously around sharp corners, and narrowly misses broken beams. All the time, there is a loud rumbling. You risk taking a very quick look, and see the ceiling falling behind you with a deafening roar.

You're being chased by a rockfall!

"We're not going to make it!" You shout, terrified, but jsut as you finish speaking, the mine cart flies out into space and....faint daylight?

You look up, just as the mine cart drops away beneath you. Somehow, the track led out of the mine, but now you are above a massive drop into a lake.

"Ahhhhhhh!" You and the Sheriff shout in unison as you tumble over and over before plunging straight into the lake. Freezing water envelops you, and you come up spluttering, struggling for shore.

When you reach it, the Sheriff is already there, and helps you out.

"Well, deputy," he says, "We didn't get the outlaws, but at least we made it out of there.

There is a faint rumbling, and rocks fall out of the mine cart exit. The Sheriff and you trudge up the hill to your horses and tiredly make your way back to the town in the brightening morning.
