Heh. I almost laugh at the look on your face. Stunned, speechless. Staring into the recesses of the cave entrance. You squint into the darkness, but sun-glare makes the gray shadows into black night. You turn to look out at the view.
It is similar to your world, but the slight differences tug at your eyes, make them wander across the landscape, searching for something that isn't quite *there*. And then, my voice from the darkness behind you whispers "Hello, traveler. Welcome to my home." You jump, startled, frightened. My voice is not human, never has been, never could be. It hisses in the echos from within. Stiff, you turn again to face the lair, and this time your eyes make out a dark shape to the left, just out of reach of the sun's rays. You are curious, a good sign, perhaps you are not as mundane as you would like to believe. "Who's there?" You ask, "Who is it?" I'm lame. |
