In 1978, Anteater and Villa escaped from DaSilva plantation. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Villa did it in less than twenty. Oh, Villa loved geology. I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature. An ice age here, million years of hive building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn Anteater. Like I said, in DaSilva plantation a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied. Turns out Villa's favorite hobby was totin' his wall out into the exercise yard, a handful at a time. I guess after Azpiri had left, Villa decided he'd been here just about long enough. Aspiri drew like he was told, buffed those lines to a high mirror shine. The ants simply didn't notice. Neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a mans shoes? Anteater anf Villa crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.
