tenticale hole

You stumble through the forest, your footsteps barely audible on the damp earth. The ground feels soft too soft and suddenly, with no warning, it gives way beneath you. You cry out as you plummet, dirt and rocks tumbling alongside you, until you hit the bottom of a deep, dark hole. It’s pitch black, the air damp and unnervingly silent. You scramble to stand, the ground beneath you feeling unnaturally soft and squishy. A shiver crawls up your spine as something slithers across your ankle. You jerk your foot away, but it happens again. Your breathing quickens as your eyes adjust to the dim light filtering through the hole above. Around you, the walls of the pit seem to move. Long, slick tentacles emerge from the darkness, writhing and twisting as though alive. One brushes against your arm, cold and clammy. You recoil, only to bump into another. They seem to close in, coiling toward you, reaching and probing. A low, echoing sound rumbles from the depths, vibrating through the tentacles. They respond, undulating in sync with the noise, like they’re listening. The exit above feels impossibly far away as the tentacles creep closer, slithering around your legs, anchoring you in place. then you suddenly feel your clothes being pulled off?!
