This dim bit of light had given the young hero enough motivation, to swim faster than ever towards it! Because although this tunnel had not proven dangerous, it weighed him down on psychological aspects.
He had been travelling through for half an hour only, yet this had managed to tick every bit of nerves he had. The lack of illumination here was one aspect that put weight on his fins, but another layer of anxiety had kicked in.
And it solely had to do with the fact of just how long the tunnel was. It continued to give a great sense that it was not natural! The levels of stress that such an aspect unleashed, was uncharted!
Since this structure was highly unnatural, couldn't it bring along insanity-embracing results, such as failing to provide a way out?
All of those worries were left behind by every fin-slap against the waters, as he swam towards the light with top speed. And likewise, the same illumination only got closer.
