【自留】Fallen From Grace by V(24)
"hey." I hear the blue flame say, as I hover, just above the ground, my head inches from a stone jutting toward my skull. "nearly hurt yourself there." I start flailing, trying to get to the floor. My body starts correcting itself, standing further upright, before I'm put back down on my feet, standing. The blue flame stands behind me…
but the light from beyond the cave has started curling around it. I turn to face it, but it's gone. My breathing quickens. I start frantically looking around, my eyes darting from one side of the cave to the other, but the blue flame is gone. I turn back to the light. I breathe in, my lungs filling with the thick musty subterranean air. My feet start moving over the slippery moss, but stay firm, moving slowly along the floor toward the beaming yellow beyond. The light grows brighter, brighter, yet brighter, until…
There's a crater around me. It grows outward like a bowl toward the sky, where birds chirp and fly around trees basking in the rain cascading down, churning the sides of the opening into a thick slushy mud that flows down and drips down… into a hole below. It's hundreds of feet deep, at least. I can't make the bottom out, and whenever rain falls beneath I can't distinguish when it lands. My heart starts beating.
