Briefly you look around for the source of the voice, just in case it could be a problem, a second’s or so frantic looking reveals no answers. Ignoring the voice and bolting toward the door seems to be the only choice, there was no one there. Your feet sunk into the spongy ground again but you pressed on. The voice again returned from above, again you don’t see anyone amidst your increasingly desperate plight toward the shutting door. “Hey there! Wait up a sec!”
Where the hell was this person? It was irrelevant as the muck beneath your feet collapses significantly and your feet sink in and keep going down, your knees, thighs, and further down until your hips become submerged. Gritty bits of sand and stone are beneath the surface and lightly scratch as your struggles bring you lower. Roots give you some purchase to keep from sinking any more, worryingly your right foot plummets into a void. A near by stalk gives your hands something to latch on to ensure you don’t plummet.
Crushingly the door gently shuts, sealing your escape. Once your realization had completed setting in the voice returned, “Oh good, I need a snack.”
