It glowed with a neon green color, yet the light didn’t appear to illuminate anything other than itself. ĭamon winced as he saw the prompt emerge in front of him. A woman screamed words he did not understand. It was followed by a heavy scratching noise, and a muffled shriek. That joy was stomped down when something loud and angry growled.
Relief washed over him when he spotted a very dim, bluish glow dead ahead. A rather undesirable fate, he could only move forward while using the wall to guide him and hope he wasn’t dooming himself by somehow going deeper into the cave. Perhaps this cave was some sort of abandoned mine he’d not heard of? The idea didn’t answer why he was naked or how he got there, which was starting to become a secondary concern to his blindness.ĭamon had heard the stories of people getting lost in caves and never coming back. Their presence helped him raise himself with a bit more stability, but at the same time, they left him all the more confused. The stone curved upwards into rougher edges and severely irregular surfaces. Mandatory physical training would be the least of his concerns. But what mattered was that, if he was lucky, he was close enough he’d be able to make it back to base before someone started making questions. He didn’t remember there being mountains near the base, let alone caves. A cave of some sort? The consideration left him confused. drill sergeant?”ĭamon’s voice bounced around him with an echo. If he’d stumbled to this place, he’d surely dropped his phone somewhere? Was he alone? He could only crawl and hope the headache cleared while blindly waving his hand in front of him, searching for a source of light. The absolute darkness around him was not making it easier to recognize where he was. He was no expert in construction, but the surface was too irregular to be cement.
Or at least that was what he would’ve thought, if not for the absence of clothes, light, and the cold, hard stone floor. Every sign pointed that things had gotten a bit too wild during their first leave after the grueling time spent in basic. Damon woke up naked, coughing, and feeling like someone had locked a tiny hysterical gnome into his head, one that was trying to break its way out his forehead with an icepick.
