I dared to stare down the well of shadows so full of broken skies and forgotten corners. The whispers in the mist rising from the dark stench caused my anxious breaths to look deeper. As I strained to see the unknown horrors, my balance was forever lost and down I fell.

Plunging past the putrid stench, I splashed into the murky depths. Lost forever to be wondered about from above, the taste of copper and fear inundated all my senses. As I realized the taste of copper was my blood, fear swept me away to forgotten corners to etch my death.
