Tim sat for a moment longer, and then stood up, pacing the length of the walls of the cave, listening to the sound of the rain outside. He clapped his hands a few times as he did, on auto-pilot, passing the time. He turned for a moment, and looked deep into the mouth of the cave. The darkness looked like it could be cut with a knife. It was inky black and it felt alive, almost. It sort of freaked him out.

"Hello!" he called out, shouting into the void, hearing his voice echo somewhere far off in the distance. "Holy shit, this cave is deep. I wonder how far it goes, y'know?"

He stood there a while longer, just staring into the darkness before him, wondering, his arms crossed behind his back. He kicked a rock by his feet, which also disappeared into the dark shadows. He didnt necessarily want to enter the darkness, but he didnt exactly...[i]not[/i] want to, either.
