Human: Write a first person perspective of a suspenseful scene outside a chasm with a rope tied to an iron stake. Assistant: 
Careless mining practices have left the walls without reinforcement, resulting in rock falls that litter the ledge with mounds of rubble. From time to time, a loose stone will clatter down the pile before tumbling over the edge into the abyss, leaving behind an expectant silence as you wait in vain to hear it strike the bottom. A rope tied to an iron stake dangles over the precipice.
