The dust on the ground collected on its shoes
When it finally reached the entrance, it didn't hesitate
Practically running into the dark abyss
It ignored the cold, it ignored the warning signs
It went deeper, past the caution tape and into passages unmarked
Like an infection it went wild, slipping into the tightest places
The complex cave being navigated by an inexperienced it
An it that craved adventure, torture, but not for itself
It so quickly entered, but it was years before they noticed it was in there.
And removing it is a process to take many years.
