He Remembered
All of a sudden he realized that he has an extra rope in his backpack which he always carries around for a situation like the one he was in. But he wasn’t sure if it’s still there because he didn’t check it before leaving. He took off the backpack from his shoulder and searched for that extra rope, thankfully he found it and couldn’t believe his luck. Now he was all set to move further. Now, wait, what’s that noise?
Mysterious Noise
There was this noise which he was sure of not hearing it before. He was inside the canyon for over two hours and this noise was very sudden. He was sure that the voice was coming from down below and was now more intrigued. What is that? Because of the echo, he couldn’t recognize the sound. He picked the rope and decided to check it out. He would soon find out the origin of the sound.
Not That Easy
Zachary tied the rope that didn’t reach the ground completely, but that wasn’t an issue. The real issue was the inclination of the mountain that Zachary was using to reach down. He actually had to drop 5 to 10 feet in one go which wasn’t an easy thing to do. He knew the circumstances that come along the drop. You always have the possibility of the rope breaking from the middle. But Zachary didn’t stop there and did the first drop of 5 feet. The deeper he went the noise became more and louder.
The Third Drop
The first drop which was of 5 feet didn’t cause Zachary any problem and even the second drop which was of 8 feet was successfully achieved but the third drop which was almost 20 feet made him really worried. He was literally hanging in the middle struggling to support his legs and hands where he could rest them for a bit from all the dropping. He could hear some movements below and he couldn’t see anything. There was this sound and now the movements which made him really worried. Without thinking anything else, Zach made the drop of 20 feet. What happened next?
Time Stopped
Zachary wasn’t feeling anything when he made the fall of 20 feet. He had his eyes closed and fist holding the rope really tightly and with the sudden jerk he stopped, opened his eyes to see where he was. The ground was just 2 feet below from him. He freed himself from the rope and jumped down. Now when he has achieved the goal of reaching down, he searched for the origin of the sound and that thing which was making this painful noise. Soon his mind will be blown.
The Search
Now Zachary was in search of the thing which he saw from the above. What was it actually? He saw nothing around him but he could hear the continuous sound that was coming from he doesn’t know where. Because of the echo, the voice felt like coming from everywhere and it was getting very difficult for Zach to identify the source of the voice. But he saw a stone in front of him and when got close to the stone he saw something at the back of the stone hiding.
