The Fallen
I tumble and hit the hard rock below, pain radiates through my body, but nothing seems to be broken. I wait for the dust to settle before pulling myself to my feet. As my mind clears I notice a light masked by debri. I cautiously make my way toward the light to get a closer look. Then I remove the rubble that entombs the lifeless body of Doctor Koontez; one of our geologist. This is an unfortunate casualty, and for me a sad reminder of the darkness that dwells within these tunnels. I rest the Doctors body along the cavern wall, and gather all essential belongings to help navigate my way. I turn off the light on his hardhat and say goodbye, I must stay focused if my journey is not to end with the same fate. The others must have continued on, however I am no longer following their footsteps. If we should reconnect it will be purely by chance. I know that I am completely on my own and now there is no turning back…
This boy is very brave and must be enjoying himself. I l know if I found a dead body I would certainly get out of there. Keep posting the story gets more exciting each week.
This is a very interesting journey. Every week you add another twist to the story, making it more interesting. Looking forward to next weeks post.
