The food we thought it was redundant once has ran out. The leader here said the god made a pledge to rescue us in a few days, but he's been holding that over. As I ran out of patience, I gathered people and suggested my plans to escape. Nobody readily agreed to help. I decided to do it on my own. I kept swimming all night along the cave rim. Endless nigh swim was terrifying and it seemed like I was nowhere near destination. Somehow I got to a land and a couple rescued me. It was nice to be outside. While I had warm meals, concerns about people I left were at the back of my mind. Lack food provision must be the urgent thing there. I had to elicit positive reactions from them and dragged them from there. The soup I had this morning tasted guilt. 

pledge 는 약속이라는 뜻이지만 여기서의 약속은 매우 공식적인 성격을 가진다. 서약, 공약이라던지 돈과 관련된 약속 등

readily 는 ready 라는 단어에서 파생된 것 처럼, 준비가 되어서 빠르고, 문제없이 손쉽게 라는 뜻을 가진 부사가 되었다. 

nowhere 라는 표현은 재밌게 쓰이는데 from nowhere (갑자기) 등으로도 쓰이지만 nowhere near 라고도 자주 쓰인다.
