The Untold ch 2

Welcome to the party. We missed you.
==Chapter Two: Unknowns==
I step out into the sunlight from the shade of the awning. It's a warm day.
Better to be brisk. No use sweating out every drop of moisture in my body just to bask in sun. Who would want to anyway? I'm used to a colder environment. The day is better when I don't have the sun punching me in the back and the gray sky is set with falling snowflakes. Ugh. Heat sucks.
It would be better if I owned a cart. I'd at least be able to get there faster. Oh well. At least I can look up and see all the trees. Those aren't there in winter. One side of the street is lined with them. The other, houses. Not even nice ones. Ugly square brick towers. Welcome to a nice metaphor for my life. And it's like this all the way there. No change.
"Hey, Joe!" someone yells from a street corner. I don't remember his name. I don't remember meeting him before. I need to get to work.
Eventually, I arrive. This is my place. A gaping hole in the ground, with glowing ice stone cooling the insides. No such thing as too cold, that's what I say. I have a pickaxe and a helmet; I have a home. The government-sanctioned mine isn't exactly the most cheerful place to be, but I couldn't pick a job more suited to me. Infinitely icy crystals chopped out of rock with nothing but strength and a sharp pointed blade.
I'm deep in one of the cave's depths mining away the rock when a call comes in. For me, apparently, and I should get back up there now. I do so. Harry, the overseer, is waiting for me.
"You, uh, should probably listen to this... yourself."
They're dead.
This chapter is left unfinished.
