The tunnel's exit hangs ahead, a thin slash of ashen light against the consuming dark. Tom's boots hammer the loose stone, each gasp a ragged, desperate sound. He erupts into the open, the cold air slamming into his sweat-drenched skin. He folds at the waist, fighting for breath as the world tilts. Then, in the sudden quiet, he straightens and looks beside him. Empty space. "you!?" His voice splinters, lost in the mine's deep, silent throat.
