I don’t know how long I was out, but when I opened my eyes, I didn’t know it. It was still pitch dark and I searched frantically for any sort of light, but there was nothing. I was lying on what appeared to be rocks. I sat up, fighting off nausea, and felt a lump on the back of my head. I remembered falling, and then nothing. I groped for the wall and found it, then followed it until I found a small hole. I ran my hand up it. It was slimy, and it seemed to have a curve. I climbed up onto it and tried to blindly climb my way out, but after the curve it just went straight up, not to mention how slippery it was. I realized that even if the others got help and showed them where I had fallen, they wouldn’t be able to see me. I sat down and tried to hold it together. The darkness over whelmed me, and I started hyperventilating. I tried to calm myself down, thinking of what they taught us at boot camp. Slowly, my breathing returned to normal. I decided I could get myself out. If I could just find a way up, then I could find the door and just leave.
I ran my hand around the edge of the circular room until I found a wide opening, a door maybe. I went through it, possibly making the biggest mistake of my life. Then again…
I don’t know how long it was. I could never tell the time, and there was never any light. I cried a lot, and talked to my self. At times, I could sense something watching me, and other times I would hear something scuttle away from me. After a while, I stopped caring. I got really hungry, and really thirsty, and slept sometimes. At one point I found stairs, and went up them two at a time, but at the top, there was nothing but blackness. I got the feeling of lots of space around me, and felt around for a wall. I had to take several panicked steps before finally touching the stone wall again. I must be close to the door now, I kept thinking. I stumbled along, praying for light, thinking about light. I wanted nothing more than to be out of the stale, dark castle and into the fresh, open, light air. Just kept walking, always looking for a new door.
