Survival: Dark, Brutal, Gripping

Stuck in a narrow cave 7

The five of them seemed to be close to the exit, but even though obstacle after obstacle had been passed, a difficult obstacle was already waiting for them. Now they are faced with uphill or vertical paths. The road is almost perpendicular complete with sharp rocks. However, what actually makes it difficult for them is that the path that must be passed only fits one person.

" Friends how is this, the path this time can be categorized is very difficult for us." Complaints Ahmad.

" About how many Mad people ? " Ask Johan.

" Eeum I think will only fit one person Jo." Reply Ahmad.

" So just fit for one person huh, then can we get through it ? " Tanya Selly is pessimistic.

" It doesn't hurt if we try." Ahmad Tegas.

" To further ascertain whether it will fit or not, I will start first, only then will it be your turn." Ahmad says.

Slowly Ahmad set foot, and hung on his hand and began to climb.

" It seems like it's really hard." He murmured in his heart.

The real difficulty faced by Ahmad, he tried his hardest to go up but of course the scale was not easy. The rocks are not slippery, just a little wet.

" I must not give up, if I have stepped must be resolved whatever the risk, the obstacle I must face." Ahmad was motivating himself.

Meanwhile, his friends did not turn their eyes for a second towards Ahmad. They pay close attention to how difficult it is to climb into a rock hall that fits one person, and worse the diameter of the hallway even to look like they are pinning Ahmad.

" Well, what about us, Ahmad who is slim aka skinny can be difficult." Selly complained.

" Ahmad, who was thin like being gripped by rocks, is now like an ant trying to escape from the grasp of the hand." Johan.

" It's certainly bad news for me and Cindy." Iwan.

Iwan's words make Johan and Selly curious, because Iwan only calls himself and Cindy who are still limp.

" Why are you Wan ? " Ask Johan.

" Do you have some kind of trauma or dark phobia as well ? " Task Selly.

" Not that, what I mean is my phobias towards narrow places. To be honest, it was like I had trouble breathing in a cramped place, and it was almost the same as Cindy." Terang Iwan's.

" Ooo so you've got claustrophobia, a kind of fear of being over-covered or cramped." Said Johan.

" Right, I mean it's Jo." Ivan.

Ahmad is still trying, gradually Ahmad began to be able to rise even though it is very crowded which makes oxygen minimal. Since Ahmad decided to take his first turn, he had only climbed about 2 meters from the starting point. Therefore, the four of them who are still below wait for the code from Ahmad. Moments later, Ahmad showed the code with his flashlight, hinting at his next turn. Now there is doubt among the four of them, about who will be the number two after Ahmad to go up.

" Ahmad has hinted us to go up, now how about you get up Wan." Said Johan.

" As I said before, my phobia can make me breathless." Reply Iwan.

" How about you go first Selly." Johan asked Selly for a turn.

" The reason ? " Task Iwan on Selly.

" i think if the problem of fear because of phobia should be fought, if you want to survive. But if you want to stay here forever, go ahead." Selly.

Selly's words indirectly offended Iwan, because he did not want to take a turn first. Differences of arguments occur between them, each having different egos and reasons. Suddenly, Cindy who was still limp heard their debate. In order to settle the debate, he willingly volunteered to be his next turn.

" You guys, there's no need to argue who's going first, let me just. But please, help me to ride." Cindy said.

Her friends were shocked, and just agreed with Cindy. The three of them were embarrassed to lose to Cindy who was still limp.

" Come Cindy, you're standing on my back, so it's easier to ride." Johan offered himself.

Cindy agreed despite feeling bad about her best friend. However, in the end he still climbed with the help of Johan's back footing. Johan does have a larger posture containing tend to be stockier than his friends, so there is nothing to worry about.

" Let's just go up Cindy, you don't have to worry that I'm strong enough to just be a foothold for you." Said Johan.

" I know what Jo is, but don't be so hot and say sweet to me, I'm not interested." Answer Cindy.

" Hehe, Cindy's joking around." Said Johan.

Johan squatted down and positioned himself, then allowed himself to be a foothold for Cindy. Cindy climbed up very carefully, from setting one of her legs against the rock wall, to continuing to try forcefully through the cracks of the rocks. Fortunately Cindy has a slimmer body, slimmer than Ahmad which makes it easier to enter. However, the obstacle that Cindy felt was her phobia.

" I thought my body was malnourished, weight was just ideal but it turned out to be an advantage to me indirectly, maybe it was God's plan." Cindy lirih said.

Just 5 minutes in progress, the signs of shortness of breath are again felt by Cindy. Even though Cindy had managed to catch her breath well, the asthma due to the narrow spot made her weaken.

" I beg you not now, I want to get out soon, I hope this shortness of breath doesn't hinder me." Cindy said in her heart.

The condition was immediately realized by Selly, after seeing Cindy unable to continue or stay in place.

" It's bad, Cindy's having trouble breathing, give her breathing apparatus Jo immediately." Selly.

" Well, I'll give it to Cindy." Reply Johan.

Cindy could barely breathe if her friends didn't help. Ahmad who was above him also worried about Cindy, but it was very difficult for him or rather Ahmad did not know what to provide assistance. Cindy inhaled the assistive device, and her breathing regained its regularity. He continued his struggle, without resting first.

" You're sure Cindy, can still go on with it ? " Task Iwan.

" Bismillah, I'm sure I can, well even though it's sultry and stuffy up here." Answer Cindy.

The hallway is stuffy, even though the hallway is directly related to the exit from the cave. The route of the passage is now like the letter Z, which means that Ahamd is only half way and Cindy is only a quarter. It takes extra struggle and a lot of patience to get through the test this time around.

" I think this half of it just made me tired, the narrowness of this hallway so I didn't fall down despite not holding on to anything, it deserved to be so hot." Said Ahmad while wiping his sweat that poured out.

Seriate...
