In the Tunnels

See you in the tunnels, I said, although I knew that wasn't exactly true. They might follow for a while, they might go right along, but eventually they will lose sight of me, and I them. They'll flash their lights around and say, Where'd he go? He was here a second ago. Did you see him? Didn't you?

I'll be far ahead. Or maybe not. But I will not be seen. You don't always have to be so far ahead to be unseen, it takes less work than you'd imagine. Most of that work, in fact, is done by them. They'll slow down because they think just going is enough. It isn't. The tunnels are long, and dark, and they go on forever. Keep your light on, keep your light ahead, and keep up.
