So I went caving with Indian Boy and Fish.
We crawled pretty deep in before I decided it was getting too tight and I didn't want to go any further.
The boys were disappointed and wanted to venture further into the darkness.
"Go ahead without me. I'll wait." I assured them. Why couldn't I stay here for 20 minutes? Nothing was going to get me.
It took some coaxing from Indian boy and I, Fish was certain I would freak out as soon as they left.
But eventually he did go, and soon I was left alone in complete darkness.
I wasn't freaked out... even a little. And I thought I ought to be. So I started to think of all the creatures that could be hiding in the cave as well... Bears? Too tight a space, they'd never fit. Spiders? Snakes? Too cold down here for them... That creature from Lord of the Rings that was obsessed with the ring... ok that one freaked me out a little!
So I got bored thinking up ways to scare myself and pulled the glow sticks out of my bag. I snapped them on, stabbed them open, and splatted them all over the cave walls around me.
When the boys returned I turned off my flashlight and we all sat in awe at the "Art" I had created. It really was quite beautiful!
