Settle in for the long run. Free yourself from all desires. Become one with the rock. Admit that you are powerless. Locked up for life? Seem like there’s no way out?

Stick it out as ROCK.
Go through the process of ROCK FORMATION.
At the bottom of the ocean, the weight of the water puts extreme pressure on the sediment that has formed from old shells and skeletons of ocean plants and animals. Under pressure, fluids are pushed out and the minerals left behind form a cement that holds the sediment together. Carbon is stored in this newly formed rock.
