The tunnel is dark
Three feet tall by three feet wide
The stench of sewage is overwhelming
Filth, slime, rats
I keep crawling
Wondering how I got here,
How do I get out?
It's getting deeper, harder to keep my head from going under
I feel something grab my arm as I crawl through the thick muddy waters
I keep moving, faster, trying to escape this hellish place
I'm cold and tired
I see something far ahead
Small glimmers of light flicker...
Am I almost out?
I get closer to it…
My breathing is getting heavier, body fatigued
I can't reach the light
I move closer, it moves farther
The truth becomes clear to me... I'm never getting out...
