I had not taken but two steps into the recess when I hit some cold, hard object. I stood in wonder, while my friend jumped on the opportunity to put me in chains. I was stuck to the wall. He began to play upon me, imploring me to return. He walked over to the other side of the tunnel, and put the flambeaux into the sconce. I saw him moving his arm. I couldn't tell what it was he was doing. It became apparent almost immediately. He returned bearing something quite heavy. As be brought it closer I could see what it was. A pile of bricks. He was going to fill the entrance to the recess, trapping me inside. I shook the chains in an attempt to get free, he was at the third tier by this point. He stopped and sat down. I continued for many minutes, until I tired. He began again after I had ceased. He was getting closer to completion, in vain, I yelled, it echoing through the tunnels. I heard the sound of Montresor's Rapier being drawn. Silence. Suddenly, an echoed scream came from my friend louder and stronger. I was terrified. I stopped trying. He had shown me that we were deep under a river, far under any ear that may hear my screams. The wall was complete and my demise seemed so as well. I tried to convince myself that he was joking, and I was going to be let out any
