The Underground City
As a guide who takes people to the underground city, I am a seasoned expect at things such as avoiding ghosts buried far under the earth, knowing which spots to dig and which to avoid because the earth will become too hard for you to dig your fingers into, knowing how to avoid the giant worms and such as the bugs who will burrow into your skin as you sink further down into the earth and begin to pick at your flesh with their microscopic teeth so that by the time you are a mile down you are half gone and too far below the surface to cry out for help or seek medical attention. Of course if you can make it to the city you can see it with your own eyes. Of course, why would anybody make such a journey just for the sake of seeing something new? Well the surface is burning up from the sun and now people are looking for anything that might be different from the blazing heat of the day and unfathomably cold pitches in temperature of the night which have rendered the earth a formidable force of hot-cold flashes no more able to sustain sane life than a person whose body is thrown into shock intermittently, say every 12 hours, so you see despite the ghosts and carnivorous worms and detrimental bugs and hard soils of the path to the underground city people still bother to try to make the journey, of course I cannot always save them because even though I am a guide I am not a god and the creatures and whims of the below-surface world are beyond even the grasp of the most seasoned experts such as myself. I have no desire to watch my fellow people crumple underground so when they express interest in going under I detail all of the dangers explicitly so that they may know what they are falling into, when they insist anyways, well then there is nothing I can do and I take them down. Many times they do not get possessed or eaten or trapped and they make it to the city.
