Children Of The Hole

Previous Part: Sink Haven

The man gets especially sensitive to all sounds for a while, trying to hear anything else than the initial scream, focusing heavily. It seems that there is some aroused humming coming from the outside, so he slowly and very carefully leaves the grim shelter, making sure that no spider egg will be destroyed.

The time of the day is hard to specify, as if a day and a night had an offspring. The skinny guy finds himself walking on a dirt road surrounded by street lamps emitting a grim orange light. Besides them, there is nothing else around him but a deciduous forest. He gets thrilled by the possibilities of what might be the source of the hum. So much, that he has to take constant breaks when he just sits on the road and tries to remember what is he even searching for.

Walking further and further, he sees several little silhouettes in the shine of the orange light. As the man approaches them, he witnesses a huge deep hole in the road surrounded by children dressed in fur, looking like they belong to the stone age. However, their hygiene and health both seem fine. The man knows who they are – children who have decided to leave the town life and stick to a simplier way, moving to a deep muddy hole instead. But during evening, they return to the nearest village so their parents can feed them with warm food. The guy starts asking.

„Do you have a couch or two that you can miss?“

The children look at him and point to the hole, so the man would follow them, which he does. There is nothing inside, only more children, most of which are just standing or sitting. The man tries not to look at them, so they will not talk to him. The one who brought the guy inside then instructs him to wait until they all return from their parents. He therefore stays as the children slowly leave the grimly lit road and crossing the forest, disappear into the slightly shining village.

Sitting in the hole, he feels cold and thinks how it would be to live here forever. The place seems much smaller than one would expect. The man decides to walk around it, he tries to look at the sky but as if it was not possible for him to turn the head the right direction, giving up eventually.

„Do I need to study for any exam?“

Then, the children are back again, even in the hole. He is on the road now, when he sees a huge silhouette in far – a giant running horse. The man stays idle, thinking about what to do but unable to catch the mental flow.

„I must run.“

Trying to run, he finds himself moving extremely slow, as if he was under water. This takes several seconds or maybe minutes, fatiguing the guy. After giving up, the man has already accepted his fate and waits until he gets crushed by the huge animal together with the children, who do not seem to pay any attention to the dire situation they are in.

The horse passes swiftly, leaving only a fresh flurry behind. The guy looks around to find the place in the exact same form it was before the horse. No dead children or anything, even the hole is empty and the animal nowhere to be found, as if it has simply disappeared. The skinny man then remembers that the children went to a village, where a couch or a chair simply has to be, deciding his next stop.
