about

You are in a cave. You are trapped in this cave. In this piece you escape and travel through the depths of the cave in search of a way out. It is a dark, rough journey, with dense air. After a long journey your legs hurt. You see a light. It’s colours are different from the usual fires you’ve encountered. You proceed to climb towards this light, as it seems like a way out. The climb is dangerous, the light is blinding you as you come closer. It’s a steep path. You could easily slip. Once outside, it’s a blinding light. After adjusting, there is a completely new world in front of you. You spend some days in this new world experiencing all the strange new stimuli. You become familiar. You become comfortable with it. The ending takes you back to the cave. It’s time to tell the others in the cave . However, it seems that everybody down in the cave else is still stuck, not willing to listen to you and they refuse to believe there’s another world out there.
