Sweat crawled down my cheek, stopping every now and again, almost mockingly. Mocking me because I never sweat and it wanted to make the moment last and it felt like it did. How was I meant to know if I killed anyone? It's pitch black, I have no idea where I am and

Oh, wait I'm underground it must be a root but how am I going to get past this immense root? I feel around my body and in my pockets, looking for anything I could use.

What's this?? My pocket is bulged, there is something big in it, oh, I still have the knife. Sliding the knife out of the hole in my trousers that we humans call pockets. The knife, glimmering in the darkness plunges into the immense strip of whiteness. Walking forward and cutting at the same time is hard, but I managed and I got past, eventually. But at least I got past!
