The Possibilities

Simon thought the ooze to be mold or fungus. Or it could be just stagnant water or maybe the combination of all of it. But he could not rule out the possibility of another kind of substance in it. Maybe the mix had human remains as well.

Good Idea?

The man could not risk touching the object with his bare hands so he picked a stick and began jabbing the trough with it. He said, “Broke up the unidentified gooey mass.” The man still had no idea what was he dealing with. This all seemed like a big mystery.   

Figuring Out

The handyman tried to make out what this ooze was made of as it was giving away such an unbearable stench. The only thing he could understand was that whatever it was, it was not a chemical. It was alive and organic. What could it be? The walls too were covered with the slime and mold.

Years Old

He did not know for how long the slime was there but he could assume it must have been for years. The man was putting up in the cabin for many years now and this mysterious object was hiding beneath him. The roots had begun to spread on the scummy sides and there was no light around.

He Assumed…

It was the scariest sight he had ever seen in his life. He doubted that the slime was the liquefied remains of a human. Well, the thought sent the chill down his spine. He did not want to stay there any longer. The view was disgusting and he rushed back to the ladder.

John On His Own

The duo soon found themselves back in the kitchen. They sat on the floor for a while. Simon had no intention of going back inside the hole whereas the handyman was still curious. John climbed down once again whereas Simon stayed back in the kitchen.
