I was watching a video on cave diving disasters (don’t ask me why because I don’t know), and someone in the comments mentioned this short story. Maybe it’s because I was already thinking about real cave diving disasters, actual humans being crushed under water hundreds of feet down by rubble, or that I read it late at night, but I don’t think a work of fiction has ever freaked me out this much. My rating is high because it was very well done to make me feel this way, but also I wish I hadn’t.
