Thank you for changing the water. That's how I could escape. Their family is drinking now, and tonight they want to marry me to a mentally challenged man."The woman cried as she spoke but in a more subdued manner. "I don't have much time.

"You finally woke up? How do you feel? Any discomfort?"She gave a brief description of her feelings, and Quincy smiled. "Then there's no problem. Your dizziness is because you slept for a long time and you're hungry.""We didn't die, did we?" she asked anxiously."Of course not. Do you think we ended up in heaven?" he joked.
