PROMPT
Our class is on the way to the NAEA conference in Breckinridge in
a CSU bus
Suddenly we lose control on the alpine road and we tumble into a
mountain lake. All of us are thrown free of the bus and escape
miraculously unharmed. We have all been separated into groups of 3.
We are lost in the middle of the woods in the mountains with no
transportation in sight and no service on our phones.
We must get to the conference on time or else we will all fail
Patrick's class.
