You are naked.
-----------------------------------
"FUCK!" you think. The red light of the camera flickers ominously. You run over to the fire pit in a panic, then smear black ashes all over the red light, all over anything that might be a lens so as not to reveal your next move to the predatory women. You decide to take the right path, which winds away from the angle of the camera and down inside the cave. Try as you might, you are unable to find a source of light, and creep down the tunnel carefully, much slower than you would like to.
The cave passage goes on for about fifteen or twenty yards, gradually descending until even the light from the top of the cave is no longer visible. It is narrowing, becoming thinner and thinner until the passageway is so thin that you can barely move. Your heart sinks as you come to the realization that you have probably chosen the wrong path. In the distance, you can hear sounds coming from the top of the cave, as though the girls have arrived to take you prisoner. Eventually you come to a dead end. The cave is unfinished. Your feet feel something on the ground, however. It is long and cylindrical. It's a flashlight! But... are the batteries any good? Will it turn on and provide light?
You hear voices from the top of the cave. It is very apparent that the girls have arrived.
"That little fucker is hiding!" one says. "No way did he get out. He has to be in one of the passageways."
"But which one?" Another girl says.
The girls get quiet, whispering among themselves. You try to make it out, but you're just too far away. You pick up the flashlight and turn it on. The beam is bright, blinding bright, illuminating the entire cave. It unnerves you and you switch it off. Before you do, however, you see a poster on the wall of the cave, crudely tacked up with tape. It is on that portion of the cave wall forming the dead end. It shows a naked man with a huge erection on his knees before a fully clothed woman. The caption says "boys always kneel."
'DOWN THERE!" One of the women shouts. "He turned on the flashlight we planted!"
"Wow, boys are dumb!" They all laugh as a second girl pipes up.
"Okay," says the first. "Let's all three of us go down together and lock arms so we can block his way out. Boy, we know you're down there. Now do what the sign says and just wait for us on your knees. The jig is up!"
You can hear them giggling, coming down the tunnel. You are stuck against a dead end. You don't want to surrender. Maybe.. maybe there's a way out if you use your wits. On the other hand, maybe surrender won't be so bad. You ponder your options as they get closer and closer, the clack of their shoes on the ground getting louder, their own flashlights scanning the ground ahead of them.
What to do, what to do. |
