Wait
The closer you got to the bright white light, you realized that you couldn’t have continued like that. Patiently, you waited for your eyes to adjust from the overwhelming sensory at the mouth of the cave.
“Like hell I’m just crawling out into whatever the hell awaits me out there.” you thought to yourself, sensibly. It was actually quite relaxing, taking a moment to figure out what you would do next as you begin to adapt to your new environment. Ears perked up, peeking over the side, and hair bristling along your neck, to your surprise, you find yourself looking into a deep circular pit.
“What could have created this?” you pondered as your eyes scanned what was above and below you. Peering downwards, deep into the darkness, it seemed like the bottom was lined with a soft looking white fibrous material. “Cobwebs?” You squinted. “No, it couldn’t be.” it was just your eyes playing tricks on you. A cold breeze wafted out from the depths of the cave, as if there was a breeze flowing straight through the tunnel. Your mind pondered just where that deep cave could have led to.
As you thought about it, you looked upwards. The bright light cascading down upon you like a waterfall of warm yellow light. Your face felt warm against the sun’s radiation, the air flowing upwards seemed to lift you out of the confines of mother earth’s mouth. In that moment, your body seemed to have the strength and enthusiasm to claw your way out of this sticky situation.
