CHAPTER 97: THE ABYSS BELOW
THE ABYSS BELOW
With determination coursing through your veins, you grit your teeth and begin to crawl back onto the bridge. Every muscle strains as you pull yourself up, the rough wood scraping against your palms. The bridge sways dangerously, each movement sending splinters of terror through your heart. You focus on one plank at a time, inching forward despite the flames at your back and the void below.
The fire spreads faster than you'd hoped, consuming the entrance and creeping onto the bridge's frail structure. Heat scorches your skin, the air thick with smoke and ash, making it hard to breathe. You cough and choke, eyes watering, vision blurring. But there’s no turning back.
Suddenly, the bridge gives a final, violent shudder. Another cable snaps, the sound like a gunshot in the chaos, and the bridge lists to one side. You grip the cables with renewed desperation, willing yourself not to let go. Below, the abyss yawns, ready to swallow you whole.
The cries from the group are lost to you now, drowned out by the roaring inferno. You're alone, dangling precariously between life and death. Your mind races, searching for a solution, some way to survive this nightmare. But the clock is ticking, and the bridge is crumbling.
As you finally reach the midpoint, the world explodes into a cacophony of noise. A massive section of the bridge collapses, leaving you clinging to a single, swaying cable. There’s nothing but darkness below, and the flames above. The bridge is gone. You're suspended in mid-air, with no way forward and no way back.
