“There was a gap now, just wide enough for a head and shoulders, and with a little more effort, and no doubt some skin left behind, for a person to squeeze through entirely. For now Maddy was happy to just take a look. She shone her torch through the gap. ‘What can you see in there, Mads?’ She panned the beam around. It was a narrow tunnel, roughly triangular, tapering at the top. Veils of spider webs hung across it, which glowed like finely teased-out cotton wool in the beam of her torch. ‘Ewww... … gross!’ ‘What?’ ‘Webs. Lots of them.’ From what she could make out, the tunnel looked like a natural fissure, but in places she picked out the scrape marks and pitted bites of what must have been the work of primitive tools. ‘It looks like a natural passage that someone has chiselled at in places to widen it.’ ‘Webs?’ Rashim looked unhappy. He hadn’t made it past her first description. ‘Spiders? Creeping, crawling, stinging, biting things?’ ‘Yes, spiders. Don’t be such a wimp.’ Maddy bent down, picked up a rock and then tossed it into the tunnel.MoreLessRead More Read Less
