My Short Short Camp 18 Story for the Day



Jonas stepped forward.  “I’ll go since I’ve got the flashlight.”
 
 
Turning on the light, he stepped into the cave.  Shane followed and Cinder and I were just behind them.  We ducked a little at the entrance swiping at spider webs and pushing vines aside.  The beam of light was small.  Just enough to make us feel a little better about not being in total darkness but in a way it also made it more scary wondering what might be lurking just outside the ring of light.  We kept very close and quiet.  After a few moments we reached the back of the cave.  We all breathed a sigh of relief at having discovered nothing sinister. 
 
 
“Well, it was just a story.  Maybe they cleared the bones away a long time ago.”  Jonas said.
 
 
“Yeah, they certainly wouldn’t leave a dead body here, right.”  Cinder replied.
 
 
“No, thank goodness.”  I mumbled.
 
 
“We should probably start heading back.”  Shane said.
 
 
Shane took the lead on the way back shining the flashlight as we went.  It wasn’t as dark this time because we were heading towards the outside light.  I was behind Shane, then Cinder and Jonas was in the back.  Once we were back outside on the shelf we noticed the view.
