"Mercy!" cried Ben. He had accidentally struck the hydraulic pipe for the gold-digging machine, causing gold production to cease.
"You shall have none!" the warden replied. "Throw this wretched worker into the discharge vat, now!"
Two burly enforcers grabbed Ben and tossed him into the vat that contained all the spent lubricant for the machine. Climbing out was no option; the liquid was slick and would prevent even the most generous handhold to assist in escape. It was back to holding his breath over and over to remain buoyant until one of the other workers was free and remembered that he had been thrown in here.
