OLIVER, ESTHER AND DANIEL

An Old and Newer Story of Spelunking and Mischief

By Izzy Ess of Wilderness

Substantial moneys were located in the labyrinth where Oliver had hidden them.  He had no trust in banks.  He found that squirreling away his coins and gold beneath a rock was satisfying and effective.  He alone knew where the cache of cash and assets were and he alone could move the cache from place to place to fool a thief who might have followed him into the caves.  The clever Oliver Seville had memorized the tunnels and the passages within the caves and knew them very well.  The trouble came on Thursday when an earthquake of tremendous force sent reverberations through the caves and tunnels and brought down the walls and passages.  When the dust had settled, Oliver re-entered his own private labyrinth and found that there was no familiarity for him.  Desperately did he search for his huge cache of cash and gold, to no avail.  After one whole week, he just surrendered and went home dejected having lost, essentially, three million dollars worth of coins and gold.  An aftershock of great proportions brought the mountain down which even blocked off all the entrances.  Oliver could not believe there was no hope of finding all his treasured capital.  He sold his house down in the valley and he moved to Illinois, Champagne-Urbana where he started over with a new career in agriculture and the mining arts.  He studied hard and was awarded highest marks and scholarships to further his career.  He went for it and finally achieved his PhD in A&M.  His thesis was accepted on the topic of the Caves of Persia which had once contained great treasures which had been buried by earthquakes and aftershocks.  He calculated where the entrances were once located and he was awarded grants to dig for twenty years in Pakistan amongst the Taliban.  The chieftains jumped him and they left him for dead and carted off all new and modern underground equipment which they sold for lots of money to Al Qaeda cells in Kabul.  Everything was scrapped and then converted into weapons, ammunition and surveillance apparatus.  The new leader of Al Qaeda built himself a fortress in the hills with huge amounts of luxury.  His cave was guarded day and night by faithful followers.

Dr. Oliver was now impoverished and had no way to make it back to Illinois.  He found a small cave to his liking and was able to secure a water source within and feed himself with ibices that wandered into his new cave, quite curious about this white inhabitant.  He survived for twenty years without support from anyone.  He developed herds of mountain goats for food and guarded well his inner spring of clear, pure water.  Shelter from the blazing sun was always present.  He did find that he could do some heavy work at night and do his sleeping in the cave during all the daytime heat.

By accident, our doctor found a hidden passageway way deep within his cave and cautiously explored it, careful to keep memorized the branchings of the passageways.  He happened on a large cool inner chamber which had stone formations that suggested there was once a resident, perhaps an ancient resident.  He scratched the dirt down on the floor and found some chards of pottery which looked Egyptian, which he deduced by finding hieroglyphics which he could, in fact, decipher.  He placed together several chards and read a story of a virgin Queen who was the wife of good King Xerxes, Jorje, George, of ancient Persia who reigned about three thousand years ago.  In fact, he read her name was Esther in the Hebrew and Hadassah in the Persian language, all of which was quite familiar to him.  In some of the chards, he read the name Scheherazade and felt that that was just another name for Esther or Hadassah.  Mordecai and Haman were some other names that were apparently some ministers within the government of Persia at the time.  Daniel also seemed to a minister just after Mordechai.  He wasn’t sure but it was possible that Daniel was Esther’s son or possibly her younger brother.  Oliver had lots of time to think about the implications of his findings and decided this was really part of the Old Testament, the Book of Esther and the Book of Daniel.  He couldn’t tell the source of these old stories but he knew the English version of the Holy Bible well enough to piece together what may have happened in this cave and inner chamber.

Oliver was sure that Esther, Queen of Persia, had been driven off by a new Pasha and she had hidden, for her safety, in this very cave and inner chamber where she tried to write a diary of her life.  Whether Daniel lived there, too, was not too clear.  And, what also was not clear was why the place was totally abandoned, apparently before Our Saviour was reborn in 0033, ACE.  Oliver rolled a big boulder to block off the hidden passageway that led to this historically significant inner chamber.  Three sexy ibex ewes awaited him at the one entrance to his cave.  He enticed one in to slaughter her and cook a hearty meal.  The other ewes just sat around and kept him company while he amused them with his failed attempts to have some sex with them.  He was horny to be sure but not a single human female was available. Some twenty years flew by while Oliver survived with his ibices and speculations about the inner chamber.  He figured he had aged successfully to reach an age of 65.

By chance, a Doctor Esther Solomon with her small crew did find the older Doctor Oliver asleep within his cave one day at noon in 2055.  She found him handsome with his long white beard and fell in love with him, immediately.  She woke him gently and provided sex and hugging for the lonely archeologist.  She knew of his old papers and she recognized him from his pictures in the books that he had written years ago, including his fine dissertation re the Caves of Pakistan.  The crew of ten made camp and settled into hugging and enjoining as per their customary pairing off.  Esther Solomon reserved the cave and inner chamber for herself and Oliver where they satisfied each other for some hours at a time.

The discussions with the Doctors Esther and her Oliver were quite instructive and the crew decided to camp there and do a dig.  They started with the cave and passageways that led to the special room where Esther may have hidden for some years, attempting to record her circumstances.  They found a thousand chards which they were able to assemble and get a very detailed story of survival.  It seems that Esther had run off to make some time with her younger brother, Daniel.  Apparently, the Kings of Persia searched for them in vain.  Apparently, Queen Esther and her younger brother, Daniel, had conceived at least a dozen times and did eventually guard a family of six, three boys and three girls.  Ibices were present then and the main source of food and entertainment.  The clear cool spring of water was also mentioned many times and helped them weather all the storms of raids by the armies sent by successive Kings of Persia to recapture her and Daniel.  The caves and inner passageways seemed to be what thwarted all the efforts of recapturing Esther and her young and loving consort, Dan.

One mysterious old message from the past was not too clear.  It did concern the King of Persia and some secret held by Esther.  One of the younger crew guessed that Esther claimed the King was impotent and could not perform the duties of a husband for her.  He guessed that that was why the nubile Esther did escape and why the King was so desperate to silence her.  Another mystery was a chard that seemed to have a drawing of young Daniel’s huge erection which was admired by ancient Esther and the modern Esther Solomon and all the women in the crew.  Our Oliver laughed at this suggestion but was also quite impressed by Esther’s drawing of the huge erection that was pointing right at you when the chard was held upright.  Giggles and twittering from all the women, including Esther Solomon, did not seem inappropriate.  Oliver was jealous but he didn’t show it until one very young female member of the crew asked Oliver to show his small erection for comparison.  Esther Solomon interceded and instead she drew a picture for them to use for comparison purposes.  The crew was disappointed but the data was recorded duly.

A British helicopter came to rescue everyone when Esther Solomon sent out an urgent call when Taliban chieftains were approaching.  She didn’t want to take a chance with hostile chieftains who would possibly just kill them all for their equipment.  The British team came with a military unit that was able to guard them all and get their fine equipment and their interesting chards all off the ground along with the crew of ten, our Esther and her new friend, Oliver.

Sir Oliver and Lady Esther did receive some kudos for recovering the chards with their own stories and descriptions of the caves of northern Persia about 2,500 years ago.  Both were knighted and received their OBE’s together and were married in a non-sectarian temple.  The picture of the Daniel huge erection was never publiscized but every one of Esther’s crew kept photographs of it.  Esther kept one two to use when she was lonely or when Oliver could not perform to her own satisfaction.  Oliver understood and watched while Esther got herself all worked up by keeping the huge erection in her view and Oliver in close contact with her private parts.  The pair returned to Oliver’s old collapsed mountain and by using modern ultrasound technology, were able to locate the majority of his large fortune in the rubble that was once a mountain.  This allowed them ample wealth to build a cave-like residence in the Colorado Rockies near the famous Red Rock Park and geological formation.  The built too grottos for the ancient Esther and her well-hung lover, Daniel, lover, brother or both.  They lived happily to the ages of 92 for Oliver and 94 for Esther.  When Esther was widowed she had no problem fantasizing about the old Daniel and her husband Oliver, which in her mind combined to form a well-hung Oliver  who served her well when she was lonely and in need of stimulation, with or without another partner.
