Broken Bones Don't Work Like That

One of the worst thing about broken bones is just waiting them out doesn't work. I mean I'm sure eventually they'd heal (like months and months later) but the pain doesn't go away, it just gets worse and the bone just feels more and more broken as you sit there wondering how badly you hurt yourself. So that's the position I was in at the bottom of a slippery cavern ass fully broken (which bone in my ass you may ask? I don't know I'm not some kind of ass bone fixer person). I knew I was trapped. I knew I was amongst other dead who had ended up the same way (their bones dotted the slope showing that again like the crazy cold winds above the slippery ass bone breaking drop off was another security feature).

Fortunately for me I am a survivor of painful injuries pro! No broken ass bones will keep me from treasure. I eventually got off the frozen floor, and created myself a little bone bonfire (a bonefire as it were) using the clothing of previous travelers and their bones to at least help warm myself up. My ass still felt broken (because it was obviously), but it did let me get up off it. I took a couple of the stronger looking femurs with me as a make shift torch and continued on down the cavern.

This part was also slick and carved out like the previous parts had been. Though with my torch I at least had better vision of problematic areas of which there were a couple (no more steep slopes, but again the assdamage was done). I could see relics of other treasure hunters who had come this way as well, their cast off and clothing items showing that whatever laid ahead probably was not any easier than was before it. And boy howdy was it not.

I came to a sudden drop off. Like one minute there was the carved ice rock, the next empty void. If not for my torch I'm sure I would have fallen to my death, which probably explained what happened to the other people who had come by earlier and not had returned. Probably, I dunno maybe there was a path at one point and they were total dicks and destroyed it. Seeing what laid in front of me I had only one comment.

"Well shit." Which is exactly what it felt like.
