the hole story continued

Chapter 2

After what seemed like two minutes I hit a soft patch of sand below. I rubbed my back as I stood up. Where was I? I had fallen down so far I hadn't kept track of how far I had fallen. When I looked up I saw a distant crack of light about two miles above my head. Claustrophobia started to overwhelm me. I was so far down and couldn't get back up to the top. I tried grabbing onto the wall and pulling my self up, but I would just slip back down with no process. After twenty tries I wiped my head of sweat. I pounded the wall frustatedly. To my dismay the hole started to close leaving me in total darkness. I cried into my hands and lay down on the sand.

My hopes rose when I could hear a whimpering. I felt around the hole, but there was no Skamp. He must have found a way out! I thought feeling around the walls of the hole. When my hand came to a small tunnel I was as triumphant as can be.

I could barely fit squish my caterpillar shaped body through the tunnel. I struggled for breath, for every time I would breathe in, sand would get in my mouth. Amazingly I began to see a light. I crawled as fast as a worm trying to escape a bird through the tunnel until I finally climbed out into an amazing world!
