Reply Subj: I think you're discriminating against ogres. That's ogreist.

When I got deeper in the cave I turned around and said, “There’s no Ogre!” He said I didn’t go deep enough. I told him to come down. He said he wouldn’t. The earth started to shake. I fell backwards. Kirk ran away.

I couldn’t see the end of the cave. There was a chill that came from a draft. There might have been another way out.

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“No, I won’t help you.” I turned and left the Ogre in the tunnel.
