The Cave was Emormous...

A Story by Samantha Lynn

Again, this is another story for my creative writing class, but it's so awesome I just have to post it... and YES it IS short... sorry. tell me what you think! XD

The cave was enormous. Wow, I thought to myself as I walk through the mall sized cave opening. I have never seen anything like this before.

Tap,tap,tap, the soft sound of my footsteps echo through the vastness of the cave. I feel water quickly gush into my converse and look down to see my fee ankle deep in the shallow end of a huge mesmerizing pool of water. But where does it end? And where did it all come from? I look down back down into the water. The color reminds me of a warm summer sky; it’s a blue that I cannot stop looking at. It’s as if the cave is bottomless.

I stub my toe on a crystal rock the size of a bookshelf that one would find in their local library. I notice more crystal rocks, one after another, that lead me farther into the beautiful cave.

After a long while, I start to hear the distant sound of a waterfall. I hop faster and faster, rock after rock, hoping to soon find the source of the noise. I run faster and faster, starting to think that the sound is all in my head.

Soon, I start to feel water mist my body as if it were raining. Fog clears from around me, and there it is. I look up and see oceans of water cascading down from above as if God were reaching out to me in the distant skies. I am still clueless as to where the water is coming from. I let the water sock into my pores and climb up the side if the waterfall, finally reaching the top, feeling accomplished. After catching my breath, I look over the edge to see hundreds of Amazon mushrooms growing into the darkness below.

“I guess it’s time for me to get out of here.” I say to myself. I turn around to be blinded by a beam of light. Looking closer I notice that it is an exit. On my left there is more of this wonderful, beautiful place, but on my right is the world I belong in. Where should I go? I gather myself and walk out the exit, never to see this place again.
