One time we as a family visited a dry cave close to the Grand Canyon, At one point he guide turned off the lights for one minute and thee darkness was oppressive and we were all glad when the light came back on.

    I can see you understand what I was trying to convey, Patricia. I wanted everyone to feel the angst and tension... glad you took the time to review.

That does sound very much like being lost in a deep, dark cave. The "abyss of nothingness" and the "constant drip" make it realistic for me. I'm hoping for a reverse nonet that brings the narrrator out of the cave!
Best wishes in the contest.

    Haha.. now I have to rescue them, is that it? I will try to do that before long, but as you see, I was trying to bring the reader into the angst and tension of the moment... glad you commented!! Thank you, Helen.

Okay, I HATE caves and closed in spaces and especially caves and closed in spaces with no light.... essentially, you've got a great nonet here, Melissa, but I hate the way your chosen phrases make my insides feel - LOL! But, the bright side is that such a reaction means you did a good job! :) ;) thanx for sharing (sortof)... :) ;) Yvette

I enjoyed your contest entry, Melissa. Your words create great imagery. Good job on the syllable count per line. You told an eerie little story. The picture is a nice paring with your words. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan
