The hole opened after the rain, at first it was an inch across perfect for a baby snake. A day later, it grew to six inches. The following day it was twelve inches. I grabbed a shovel and started digging. Suddenly, light poured from the ground. What was down there? I dug it wider and dove in.
The air was cool then warm. I splashed into water that tasted like the ocean and felt like the Caribbean.
I looked up; the hole I jumped through, now it was a tiny black speck. How was I going get home?
I wasn’t.
