You decline the offer and choose to continue working at the diamond fields.
One day, as you were behind on your quota, you decide to ignore the warning of others to not harvest diamonds on a rainy day due to the risks associated. As you work in the diamond fields, you suddenly hear a loud rumbling sound. You look up to see a mass of soil crashing down towards you from the hill beside the mine. You attempt to run but the debris catches up and buries you alive.
As a religious Banjarese, you pray for Allah to save you. The crushing pain causes you to struggle and gasp for air. You don’t want to die like this.
Falling into the flooded pits and pinned down by rubble, you struggle in vain. You close your eyes and breathing slows. Then, everything turns dark.
You have come to the end of this route. Do you want to start over?
Diamond mining was a hard and laborious career where the miners saw little profit for the amount of back-breaking labor they put in. Accidents were not uncommon with landslides and sinkholes occurring due to the excavation of the land. (Ho)
This was especially so in a time before safety protocols and regulations. Even as recently as last year, the lives of 33 people were claimed by the mining pits. (Thomas)
