The Amanda Anderson Collection: Breaking the Bank
Amanda felt something long, wooden and hard. Pulling it out of hammer space, she found a shovel with a wooden handle and a metal head.
“It’s a shovel… I guess I’m digging my way in.”
Amanda plunged the shovel into the sandy ground and threw a mass of soil to the side. Repeating this procedure, she had soon disappeared into the ground. Thirty seconds or so after she had started, she suddenly heard a THUNK noise.
“I think I hit something…”
Holding the shovel’s handle with her left hand, she pulled a lighter out with her right, activated it, and held it to the object she hit to check what it was.
It turned out to be a metal pipe marked with the white words, “GAS MAIN”.
KA-BOOM!

Never dig straight down.
