About this audiobook

Lost in the pitch-black tunnels of a mammoth cave, a tourist begins to hear the footsteps of something that is stalking him. In his panic, he attacks the creature, only to discover a horrifying truth when the light is restored. The story serves as a study on the effects of total isolation and the rapid degeneration of the human state. It suggests that the line between man and beast is thinner than we believe.
