Into the Pit
Trapped in a 'safe' bubble city, Liliya and her friends are about to discover that the true dangers lie not outside, but beneath their feet. A playful bet gone awry leads them into a mysterious pit, unveiling an ancient, hidden world and dark secrets that challenge everything they thought they knew about their home. Will they find a way back, or uncover a destiny far greater—and more terrifying—than they could ever imagine?
Even though my legs feel like they're about to come off, I keep running. I ignore the excruciating pain in my stomach and extreme dryness of my throat. I have to push through this. I have to.
I look behind me. 'Crap, he's gaining on me,' I think to myself. That means I can only go faster. I focus my attention on my destination, now within seeing distance. I only have to make it there, then I can stop. Now I can see the light glinting off of the bubble-like dome that surrounds the city. A minty aroma fills my nostrils. I'm so close!
