An unnerving sense of being underground is crowing while the tunnel ahead is narrowing. After a few hundred feet, I can touch the sides. I turn back and look at the entrance one last time before continuing on. The opening is a pinprick of light amongst a sea of dark. I am so far from home. The light of my phone screen illuminates my path forward.

I keep scanning the darkness, expecting the light to catch the reflective tapetum lucidum of a coyote. Oh, like their reflective eyes. I see what it's saying. Okay. But there's no animals here. Even they avoid this place. The only creatures that seem to be thriving here are the spiders. As I bumble into another web and I can feel it crawling through my hair.

The only way I could see is this didn't charge it up. Didn't think about even a $5 one at the gas station out front. Well, you know what that also kind of shows is that he doesn't plan on coming out is what it seems to me. Well, it seems that he's depressed because he's like, who would miss me back there? Like he's giving himself to whatever he's walking into. Surely. And also like,

It him talking about what I did. I still think he's talking about like a loved one, but he associates some personal guilt to it. So it's almost like it's almost like a suicide in a way. The way he's describing it, like no one will miss me. I just have my phone. I'll walk in. I mean, it reads like a suicide note for sure. Yeah.

But I can already tell it's going to get rough because he's like, I'm throwing up. My ears dripping. I feel spiders in my hair. And we're like five feet into the cave.

The cave continues to shrink. Further on and deeper still, I bang my head on the stalactites above and I realize that the tunnel is not only narrowing, it is shrinking in diameter. Oh no. This is going to be some Ted the Caver stuff. I didn't even see the stalactite before I hit it. It's too dark in this place. I pause in the darkness to try and still my heart.
