A man touring Mammoth Cave separates from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark, when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him.

The guide finds the protagonist back, and together they examine the fallen creature with the guide's torchlight.
