I peered through the hole, only to be greeted by pure, leering darkness. Typical, I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. However, something kept pulling me towards that gap in the wall. It was important somehow, I could just feel it.
I grabbed my stalactite and began chiseling selling away at the hole until it was about the same size as a small child. My head was able to fit through now, and I could see a small bit of light. I continued cutting away at the wall, bit by bit.
I had no fear of the spiders discovering me, because they never came near me. Why would they? Whenever they needed me for chores or dinner, they just screamed and I came to them. Pathetic, I know, but that was how I'd been living for the past 13 years, so I was used to it by now.
I must have been there for hours, cutting away at the rocky wall. It was a dull, boring job, and I was dead tired, but I had a potential ticket to freedom, and I wasn't going to give that up now. I slowly noticed that the darkness was getting brighter every minute, and I could see what I now realize were stars in the pale magenta horizon. I almost screamed from joy, but that would have immedietely alerted the family of my actions, and they would literally murder me.
The hole was now the size of a large boulder, and I knew I could easily squeeze out. Suddenly, I heard a hiss from behind me as the mother spider spotted me and crawled closer, her head was almost hanging off of her neck as she inched towards me.
I don't know what it is in me that told me to run, but I did. I ran faster than I ever had before, not that living in a cave for a decade gave me much time to stretch my legs. The sky was brightening, and I could see thin green strands beneath my feet, but I didn't stop for a moment.
I saw mountains and valleys, trees and grass, and the sky. I had never seen the sky before, nor anything even remotely similar, but I wanted to soak up every moment of it.
My excitement and happiness was short-lived, however, as a voice said, "You have a minute to move before I stab you to death."

I hope y'all enjoyed my 2 minutes of reading lol. I won't be able to post many other chapters this weekend, I'll be busy, but I will certainly try. Also, I know I've already mentioned this but what harm comes from mentioning it again, this story is sort of a test-run. I've never written anything before, nor did I expect to, but here we are!
