Journal of A Railroad Builder
Chapter 13: Entry 12
Previous Chapter Next ChapterHappiness to hardships and back again, I swear.
Our next targeted bridge site is Ghastly Gorge, and the Eels in there are the least of our worries.
We've had to skirt the Everfree Forest in order to avoid Timberwolves, and even then it only works some of the time. A couple of workers, including me, are still nursing wounds sustained by a hungry pack from a few days ago. Those creatures are resilient, to say the least.
Heat is another major problem. A few workers have come down with varying levels of Heat Exhaustion. We don't have that much shade and that from the forest may likely kill us by some unknown means.
Even Rook is tired. Swan has to take longer than normal breaks between songs, and Jack doesn't even seem scared. He's just quiet now.
It's difficult to sleep at night, as the shrieks of the Quarry Eels keep everypony from getting their needed amount of rest.
Happiness to hardships and back again. I only hope that little saying is as true as it is catchy.
