text: I fell down. Down into darkness. I landed with a splash, in a shallow water stream. My leg hurts like hell, and then really, absolute hell. I quickly get out of the water, before my backpack is soaked. Once I am crawling out of the water, I notice a few things. I can’t see anything, not even my hands in front of my face. I might turned blind, or it is just really dark down here. The other thing is that it smells. It smells like rotten eggs or something. But it for sure is a smell I have never, ever smelled before. Once I am out of the water, almost crying from the pain of my leg, I feel my backpack sliding off my back. I place it next to me. Next to me on the ice cold, wet rocks. I open it up, and search in the dark for my lighter. I hear something drop, really close to me. I don’t know if it came out of my backpack, or if it was something different. I wasn’t sure what it was, but it scared me. It made me keep my breath in, and sit there in total silence. At that point I noticed that I heard the water moving, a slow and relaxing sound. I also heard the water fall down or something, but that sound came from really far away. But furthermore I didn’t hear anything else. for a minute, I sat there in silence. When I didn’t hear anything else, I went on looking. “Ah, there it is”, I heard myself say out loud, whilst taking my tiny blue lighter out of my backpack. I immediately regretted saying out loud. I thought that it might have had awoken some animals that lived there. **please leave a response :)** tell me what to do better or change.
