The Hollow

Huh?

Hey, you okay?

Hey!

I was just trying to make sure you're okay.

Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep here.

Who are you? Where am I?

I don't know. I woke up here too, just like you.

Hey! Who are you? Where am I?

Yeah, those are the top two questions.

Put the fists down, dude. We're all in the same boat.

We're in a boat?

So all three of us woke up in this place?

Uh, yeah. That's what it looks like.

This is definitely not a boat. I wouldn't trust him.

Says the other guy I've never seen before.

So, where are we? And why are we here?

No idea.

Can you guys think back to the last memory you had, before you woke up?

Me neither.

What's going on?

- Do you think we're... - Dead?

I was gonna say being pranked, but thanks for putting

- the whole "dead" thing in my head! - We're not dead.

We can't be dead.

Are we dead?

Whoa! An old typewriter.

People used these before computers and smartphones.

Great. How's that gonna help?

You could type up your last will and testament.

- Any idea how we can get out of here? - That vent?

We'll never reach it.

We have to try.

Hey, what's your name?

It's... I don't know.

- How can you not know your own name? - I don't know, okay?

I can't remember.

I can't remember my name either.

You guys are weird.

Okay. So, what's your name then?

It's... it's...

What is going on?

I don't know, but we have to try to get out. Come on, I'll boost you up.

Okay, your turn.

Whoa!

Whoa!

- Impressive. - Maybe I belong to a gym?

Thanks, dude. Now can you put me down?

Oh! Awesome.

Okay, seriously, how do we get out of here?

Maybe we can loosen these cinder blocks somehow.

Anybody got keys, something to scratch with?

What's that?

A name. "Adam."

Is that your name?

- I don't know. - Hey...

"Kay"?

Or maybe it's pronounced "Ky"? I like "Ky" better.

"Mira."

Someone must've put those in our pockets.

Okay, very funny, whoever you are!

Shouting won't get us anywhere, "Kay."

It's "Ky"! I think. And if you're so smart, how do we get outta here?

I think we might have to do something with the typewriter.

Oh, good idea! We'll smash the wall open!

Stop! That's not what I meant!

Uh, what did you just do?

I guess I typed "E."

Should we type it again?

Great. Now it's gone.

It's some kind of puzzle!

- I think we need to type the right word. - Okay, but what's the word?

- It must start with "E." - "Elephant"?

- It starts with an "E." - Try... "Escape"?

E...

S...

Wrong!

- "Exit"? - Try it.

E...

X...

- Time to smash the wall! - Don't!

This is ridiculous.

And I just realized there's no toilet in here.

Help! Help!

- That's not helping! - Help!

Wait! Maybe that's it!

H...

E...

It's working! Keep typing!

L, P!

"Help." That was it! You figured it out!

Okay. So I'm Mira. And I'm good at puzzles.

Guys?

Come on! The vent!

Hmm?

- Whoa. - Big deal, I can do that too.

I'm just not a show-off.

Oh!

Or a very good liar.

Hey! Watch the hands!

The grate is screwed in.

We climb back down to the typewriter, bend one of those key thingies

into a screwdriver and... righty-tighty, lefty-loosey?

Oh, maybe we can somehow freeze the screws and snap them off.

Or that.

Who is this guy?

Ooh!

- Kai. Kai! - Oh!

- Right, that's me. - Jump over and grab the cinder block.

- I'll pull you up. - I won't reach!

Just do what he says!

Fine!

Phew!

Told you you'd make it.

I'll crawl in first. You pull Mira up

- and follow me in the vent. - No way, dude.

- I'm not going behind you. - Why not?

'Cause I don't want my face up against your butt! I'll go first.

Hello? A little help here?

Sorry, Mira. I'm ready.

Gotcha!

Come on!

What are you doing?

If anything attacks us, I can crawl away faster this way.

Ugh.

There's something up there.

Looks like another vent...

Oof!

What now?

Well? Is it safe?

I don't know.

He doesn't know if it's safe.

It's gotta be safer than staying in here!

Outta my way!

Ow! Hey!

- You okay? - Yeah. Let's go.

Go where? Where are we?

I don't know. But, hopefully, we can find a road and get a ride outta here.

Good call. So...

which way?

I vote this way.

You coming?

She's just lonely.

Who's lonely?

The owl. She's lonely.

Oh.

- Okay. - Why do I know that?

Uh...

You're Mira, you're good at puzzles, and apparently, you speak "owl."

I'm starting to think I'm pretty cool.

We should probably go before Kai realizes he's all alone up there.

Hey! I'm all alone up here! Where are you guys?

It's really creepy out here, huh?

Like, really, really creepy. Wish we had a map.

A map would be good right now because it's really, really...

Creepy?

Kai, just try to relax. There's gotta be a road nearby.

What was that?

I stepped on a twig.

Oh. Right, obviously, I knew that.

Hey! We should probably check our pockets for a map.

For the last time, we don't have a map.

But we should check again. It wouldn't hurt.
