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?<\/p>\n
OK, so here’s a thing that keeps happening:<\/p>\n

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!”<\/p>\n
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…<\/p>\n
…but there’s also no walls or floors, and I’m usually pretty particular about them.<\/p>\n
So am I digging into areas I was legitimately in?<\/p>\n
Am I digging into areas where someone’s placed old torches I’d left in other areas, just to confuse me?<\/p>\n
Am I digging through time?<\/p>\n
Or am I just breathing some heinous fumes from being too close to the lava?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
