Marry had always loved cave exploring with her friends, they searched all over the state for any kind of cave they could squeeze into and look around.
At some point about a month or two ago, marry told her friends about an abandoned mine shaft in the mountains.
Her and her two friends climbed up the mountains paths for about an hour until they reached a service road which was blocked off and said 'Do Not Enter'
"Marry, this has to be it." One of her friends said to her.
"Yeah, this is it for sure." She said back. The three hopped over the fence and continued to walk down the path. Eventually they came to the mine shaft. It had a lock on it and was boarded up. Marry pulled out her climbing pick, broke the lock, then plied off the boards. They turned on their head lamps and walked in. The mine went on for hours. They walked and walked and walked, spray painting a M at every split in the path.
After walking for hours their headlights started to beeb signaling that they had low batteries, the three switched the batteries out and started back.
On the way back Marry's two friends were walking in front while Marry dragged along.
While they were walking, the two asked Marry something, she didn't say anything and they looked behind themselves to find Marry was nowhere to be seen.
They called her name and searched but their head lights would burn out if they didn't leave at that moment. The two informed the police of the missing person, the police searched for Marry for hours but all that was found was her helmet and head lamp.
Weeks passed, and still no sign of poor Marry.
A few more cave explorers stumbled into the cave some time later, and found marry hanging from a rope a few miles in.
Investigators came to the conclusion that Marry was starving and beginning to go insane because of the absolute darkness. So she hung herself to end the pain of what was in the dark. But the question is, where did Marry get the rope, and how did she find where to hang it...
