The Creature

You had decided it would be a fun idea to go exploring a cave. Wherever you were you seemed to still be able to feel the nice breeze from outside the cave. It was fun, the walls of the cave hadn’t been vandalized, it was all natural.

At some point during your exploration your flashlight had ran out of batteries. One moment you could see around you and the next you were in pitch black darkness. You had stood there for the longest time trying to figure out what to do. You felt a soft breeze touch your face and you decided to follow it. With your hand on the wall to stabilize yourself as you followed the wind. It was faint and soft, you were close to getting out of the cave, right?

You felt something shift in your pocket so you slid your hand inside and felt something. It was the Zippo you brought with you. Relief washed over you as you realized you could see where you were going again. So you pulled it out of your pocket and flicked it on, holding it in front of yourself.

Everything went still when you saw the 8 foot, lanky, eyeless creature. He didn’t look human, but he was near you. Close to your face, and at that moment you realized he had been blowing air on your face... Then you looked around the area and shock hit you. The creature had been leading her you underground. Now you had no idea how to escape the cave.

“Huummaannn..” A deep rumble came from the thing in front of you. Causing you to look back at it, it seemed closer. Then a large hand reached out and took the Zippo from you. The last thing you saw before everything went dark was him bringing it up to his face. A long dark pink tongue slid out of his mouth and wrapped around it, then he swallowed it whole.. darkness consumed the area around you.
