Here is a story that I am writing in English (it is not done yet, obiously):
I stood on a big green hill surrounded by plains and fields. The sun was well past noon and Stan and Billy were sitting by the tree eating apples from the tree. The apples tasted sweet, lost in the taste of the apple I nearly forgot that we were on the run. It has been about a week and a half since we all had escaped from the prison (which was about 20 miles west of us).
I remember exactly how we did it like it was yesterday. I also know why I was in there too. Stupid reasons I think. Should have guessed the cops would have waited there for me, but I was drunk and not thinking straight. I was put in jail for five counts of bank robbery and one for attempted murder (to bad I didn’t put another bullet in him). I served only ten years before a few buddies and I figured out how to escape. We did it when two of the guards were sick (luck was on our side). As we were digging on the side of the road I faked a heart attack and fell to the ground.
“Get up you piece of sh*t.” Said the guard
“My heart it hurts” I said. Luckily I hit something sharp and it made me bleed because the guard jumped off his horse and bent over me. I could smell whisky on his breath.
“Hey, Bob. Get the medical kit, we have an injury.” The guard said. Bob was the only other guard there. The other two were sick. They were only watching over five people.
As Bob checked me out Stan stabbed his pick into the first guard’s head. The smells of his body fluids were strong. Then Bob jumped up pulled his weapon and shot the prisoner that was picking up the first guard’s gun. Just then I jump up from behind him and grab him. But he freaks out and ends up shooting another prisoner. I was finally able to break his neck and silence him. So I pick up his gun and look around. Two of our escapee friends we dead.
“Sh*t man. I did not expect that to happen so fast.” I said to the survivors.
“Yeah let get these chains off and get going.” said Stan.
And that is how we got here on this hill. We did not run into to much trouble after that. We only heard cops the day after the escape. But since then we have not seen any of sign of them.
“They know we have guns so I imagine they will want to trap or ambush us”. I said to the guys.
“Yeah I think so too”. said Stan.
“So after we eat lets take some apples and head for that patch of woods over there.” I said pointing at a medium sized meadow on the horizon.
“They will have a harder time finding us through the woods”. I continued, “Then we hit a small store or house and get a map and some more food”.
“So do you have a plan?” asked Billy.
“Of course I do, I would not be heading this way if I did not.” I said to him.
HOOTIN' HOOTON: Cool story so far. Great sensory detail and action. Somewhat unbelievable, though. If you want it to be more believable, you need to take into account that correctional facilities have reserve officers, and regular officers who like to pick up overtime when their coworkers call in sick. So your scenario where you only have to deal with two guards is not realistic. Also, following a violent prison break with officer fatalities, you damn well better expect an all-out manhunt lasting weeks if not longer, with FBI, choppers, 1000s of people on the ground traipsing all over the brush and briars, hounds, volunteers, maybe even the national guard, etc. So being 20 miles away you would pretty much be caught within hours or maybe days depending on the remoteness of the prison. Finally, these days the only prisoners they let out to work even under guard are those at low risk of trying to escape, usually because they only have a short time left to serve and the consequences of being caught escaping wouldn't warrant the risk. Other possibilities that would realistically put them outside even with a lot of time left to serve might include prison transfers, such as to appear in court for additional crimes they may have committed, medical treatment at hospitals, etc. But even then, you better believe they are shackled and under armed guard the whole time. Deal with these issues. I know you can.
