Sinkholes, Caves and the Devil’s Millhopper
A trip to hell and back
Long lost Soul
It was on the third day
that he felt like he was making progress,
the passageways seemed to be
going more often upwards, and after going though another tight squeeze
laying on his belly, had a fairly long stretch of tunnel that was easier
travelling when he came to another opening that was larger than what he
could easily reach so he took out his matches finding only two were
left. Using a match would make it easier to see which way to go but
then he would only have one match left. If he didn’t use a match he
could wander around for hours before finding a way out. He decided, lit
a match seeing the tunnel branched into three directions before him,
which to choose, right, center or left, he saw something on the floor at
the edge of the match light, he holds the match a bit higher and sees, a
bleached white skeleton with a bonny finger pointing at the right most
tunnel. How long had that long lost soul been there, Warren wondered,
had the man followed the devil into the earth like he had and found this
same way out? Warren questioned. Was the way the skeleton was pointing
the way out or would he end up another skeleton pointing the way. Only
one way to find out Warren decided and it was standing here and he
proceed down the right tunnel.
