It was farther than it looked, but I found it at last. It...was not what I was expecting, but I find I cannot let myself be disappointed. I was hoping for a door, a mouth in the cave, a portal to the outside world bathed in the warm light of the sun. I found something peculiar instead.
It is a fountain, Reader, a fountain that gives light on its own. The water is shimmering and radiant and the marble which forms its base glows so soothingly. I notice these qualities only now for initially, I must confess, my thoughts were bent solely on slaking my incredible thirst. You must of course think this to be very foolish, but consider, Dear Reader, how much longer could I live without water?
I have not felt any adverse effects, so I believe I made the right decision. What would you have done if you were in my place? Enough. I do not wish to to argue with you, Reader...though in truth, I am arguing with myself as you have not once written a reply.
The light cast by the water is calming and I am so very tired. I think I will sleep here for a while.
