Day 294:
Now I’m almost sure this isn’t the same canyon I was digging in earlier, but it might be one of the earlier canyons?
OK, so here’s a thing that keeps happening:
I dig through a wall into a wide cavern with no signs of ore in any direction.
Way above my head is a torch embedded in the wall and I think, for a split second, “Oh my cod! I found someone! There was someone else here!”
And then I recognize the mark that I started carving into torch handles a while ago (for just this reason) indicating that no, this is my torch, and I’ve been digging here before, which is why there’s no ore…
…but there’s also no walls or floors, and I’m usually pretty particular about them.
So am I digging into areas I was legitimately in?
Am I digging into areas where someone’s placed old torches I’d left in other areas, just to confuse me?
Am I digging through time?
Or am I just breathing some heinous fumes from being too close to the lava?
