Across 1. Shuck it. 4. Thomas looked back at his captors. 7. An,odd dilapidated wooden building near the corner of the gray stone wall. 8. The room continued its ascent. 9. Trying to calculate his surroundings and predicament. 11. Cascading over his T-shirt. 12. Hearing his voice for the first time in his salvageable memory.

Down 1. The room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. 2. A city square with hundreds of people bustling about their business. 3. Thomas became immune to the ceaseless rattling of the chains and pulleys. 5. It was disorienting. 6. Like prison garb. 10. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness.
