Alone In A Dark Cave

Alone in the dark in the Cave
Back in my teenage years we would go exploring caves. One day five of us went cave exploring, we only had two flashlights but being young , we thought that was enough. We were deep inside the cave and I decided to climb up a shelf, while the others waited and held the lights for me to see. I was about thirty feet up the shelf when it began to slide, rocks were falling everywhere. My four companions with the two lights thought every man for himself and ran toward the entrance. Here I am thirty feet up a shelf in the dark with rocks falling everywhere. I soon began to think the worse, the thought came to me WHAT AM I AM DOING HERE. About twenty minutes later my comrades got their nerve up and came to check on me.
