3. MAN LIVEBLOGS CAVING EXPERIENCE FROM HELL

Ted the Caver has allegedly set up this website to update his friends and family about his caving adventures. But things take a turn for the worst when Ted and his friend “B” go down a cave route nobody has gone down before — and that’s when everyone’s lives are completely turned upside down.

When we left the cave I was nearly in a state of shock. I could not think clearly and was having a difficult time trying to understand what had happened. I didn’t eat much nor did I get any sleep. I was glad I had the presence of mind to write down my experience while it was fresh in my mind. As I re-read what I wrote I feel like I accurately portrayed what happened in the cave that day. I wouldn’t change anything I wrote. Even though it took three days to write it, when I finished writing in my journal I felt much better. I guess it was kind of therapeutic. Unfortunately it didn’t last. In fact, it was after then that things got really bad.

As he digs deeper into the save, the spelunker began suffering from psychological symptoms, such as feeling like he was being watched and followed. He decided that he absolutely had to go back to the cave to confront what was torturing him, and that’s where the blog ends.
