<p>The wind sounds die down. Quiet crawling.</p>

<p>As far as caves go, this one is rather unremarkable.</p>
<p>You laugh at yourself for having such a thought. The life you&rsquo;ve chosen for yourself does not include many caves.</p>
<p>You drop to your knees, brushing a hand through the last vestiges of the faint outline of that shitty fox, and crawl past the entrance of the cave.</p>
<p>It is unremarkable in that it is almost cartoonish in construction. A low hillock with a rough hole bored in the side, rocks protruding here and there, worms and roots dangling from the ceiling. Always large enough to crawl through on all fours, but never enough to stand up in.</p>

<dd>(thoughtful mumbling) The construction is actually quite well thought out. At least, as far as cramped spaces go.</dd>

<dd>
<p>As soon as the cave turns a corner and the light of day behind you is lost to view, it all seems rather less inviting than it did before. The air was still before, but now it&rsquo;s stale; cool and moist has become humid and sticky.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s difficult to say whether the walls are closing in or whether that&rsquo;s just claustrophobia setting an assertive hand on your shoulder.</p>
<p>You crawl on.</p>
<p>The ground starts to rise, and at last you think you may be nearing the other side of the hillock. Perhaps, given the non-Euclidean layout of the exhibit, an entry back in, or at least back out.</p>
<p>The tunnel keeps rising.</p>
