You choose to sit down and take a while to read "Never Should Have Dug"
You pull open the tattered cover to reveal a mostly blank title page containing the quickly scribbled words-
There's not much time.
On the next page you find what looks like water stains of some kind, either sweat or tears, that had muddied the thick ink a small bit.
I'm not sure how long I have to write this down so forgive me if it's not in my usual tone of writing... we went deeper. I'm not sure why, we found enough treasures on this first layer to make a man rich for a lifetime in the real world... but we wanted to know more. More about the huge sinkhole and more about the fresh dinosaur bones we were finding closer to the bottom.
We should have been smarter... the first thing any researcher knows is when you start finding non fossilized remains its time to think about weather or not the animal is still extinct.
We disturbed some pack of them, a mighty pack of megaraptors or something. They chased us up and we barricaded ourselves as much as possible.
It's not going to hold though... I can tell that already.
One of them got Andy as we were trying to escape and all of them stopped to make sure he was dead, it's the only reason we got out.
I think something was wrong with this particular pack though... before we pissed them off we got a chance to see what was down there.
It's a fully functional ecosystem with everything our foodchain has on the surface. Actually, now that I'm writing it, it makes sense that the fungal infection were seeing up here is still the reason I'm in such peril with these creatures. The other dinosaur like animals we met seemed calm, almost tamable. But these glowing ones...
I just heard another rock fall from our barricade. I'm sure there's nothing I can do.
There's a pause in pages, and you flip through to make sure nothing else remains, and on the last page of the journal you find it.
I'm going to die, but I'm not going to let these things get out to take over.
As you close the journal you realize you're shaking a bit. Taking another look at the room, you realize the place you came in looks like it had recently collapsed open, while every other near exit was meticulously covered with boulders and rrocks.Hed definitely succeeded in keeping this place sealed for a long time... hopefully long enough for whatever he was talking about to die as well.
