The Darkness of Death

Andy expected to feel something profound about the nature of mortality, anger at how close he'd come to death's door or relief that he'd been pulled back before he could knock. Looking out however, all he could see were rocks. He passed a flashlight across the surface, watching black glass ripple like water. Did you know it wasn't safe? He asked the dead man by way of the empty tunnel. Remember what felt like the first time in days, the earpiece was silent.
