All is calm...

and then it starts over again.

The walls creep together, so slowly at first that I barely notice, and then suddenly I am trapped. The black ooze drips down. It piles up and rises to my chin. I try to move, but it hardens around my legs.

I've been through this before. A faint light shines above, but there is no point struggling to reach it. I will not win. So I let myself sink. The familiarity of drowning is almost comfortable. I let the black cover my face. I let myself disappear into the darkness.
