Deeper into the caves

with the sounds of rampaging orcs getting closer and closer you make the executive decision to quickly turn heel and hightail your way back into the cave, you start out careful and slow, methodically stepping through the darkness but soon enough you hear loud voices echoing behind you and you pick up the pace. You break into a full sprint, throwing caution to the wind as you run down what seems to be an infinite decline... man these caves are really big, you haven't even tripped on anything.

Eventually the voices behind you have faded to the point of non existence and you decide to take a small rest, you search around with your hands for a few seconds but after completely and utterly failing to find a wall you make do by just plopping yourself down on the rocky floor "how...fucking...big...are these...fucking...caves!" you huff in frustration.

You look ahead once again and strain your eyes, desperately seeking for any source of light or sense of direction but alas all your met with is the cold, dead dar...wait....you swear that you could just see something far in the distance, a tiny sliver of light piercing the never ending darkness. Your eyes do not deceive you, as you get closer and closer the light slowly grows until eventually you can look down and see a dim outline of your sweaty body, this site seems to give you a newfound strength and you manage to muster up enough energy to break into a brisk walk, then a light jog and soon enough you're once again full on sprinting towards the light, a beacon of hope and survival, your one last chance to escape. soon enough it's so close that you feel you'll burst through it any second, you brace yourself as the light becomes blinding, you close your eyes and......
