Above is a whole lot of nothing, as I&#8217;m at the bottom of that long chasm I found ages ago.<\/p>\n<p>So there&#8217;s a lot of dark, and cold, and damp.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not so cold that I need to make a jacket, and in fact I&#8217;m pretty good at judging when I&#8217;m near a pocket of lava just by the change in temperature in the space. (The popping noises don&#8217;t hurt either.) I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;ve been known to stand in one of the hot spaces longer than is probably healthy just to warm up and dry off occasionally. So far I haven&#8217;t succumbed to any poisonous gasses.<\/p>\n<p>The sky is so far away that sometimes I forget what the sun looks like, which is why days like yesterday when I harvested sand instead are so important.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m back down in the dark today, missing the sun. Wondering if this ore is so important. Wondering if I shouldn&#8217;t just get to that mountain and build myself a nice castle and settle down to ducken farming for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1160\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1160 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?resize=525%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Watercolor of a chamber with a bedrock floor and grey walls, filled with leather sacks that are tied off at the top. \" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/850AFE5F-14B6-44C1-8443-9E52E414F1E2.png?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lots of bags of rocks down here, and I get to haul them all back up to the surface myself.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 168: Sometimes when you get sucked into something, you get sucked in all the way.
