The narrow tunnel had opened up into a larger, more established packed tunnel. This was both good and bad. It was good, in that it gave me slightly more space to maneuver, and limited my concern for immediate tunnel collapse. It was bad, however, in that it implied a larger, perhaps intelligent, creature. The creator of this tunnel was not one of the large insects we'd been fighting.
But Evie was in here somewhere, so we continued into the dark.
This cider opens into unexpected depths, for better or worse.
