I stood up, dizzy and dehydrated. My chest ached from the way I’d been curled all night. When I reached the shaft, I stood up on the balls of my feet on the stairs and squinted to look through the arm-sized crack in the shaft. I gasped. The sky was a greenish gray color that didn’t seem like day or night. Long columns of smoke billowed everywhere. “The American Mari
