A Rope

By Hanse

I waited until the baboons had left, then I looked around. There were 3 entrances to the cavern, a guard at one, facing my direction and two others at the middle entrance - with their backs turned.

Near me, was a silk rope, coming out of a pit and tied to a torch holder. To me it looked like a handy souvenir. I moved across and grabbed it. Then hid again. I listened; someone was making a pitiful attempt to climb out of a pit. I crept over and looked - good old Thorvald. I threw the rope over and helped him climb up.

We'll let him fire the mortar, he's not to good with a gun.

What you would want me to be doing as CEO of YouTube is making the product better, making more advertisers to come and spend money on YouTube, right? Making sure that we’re not getting regulated in a way that we have to pass weird laws or change the product that is not productive for creators.
