Next section of my story, this ones a bit longer
I guess I should start with my name, it’s Drake. This is not merely being written for entertainment, not even as a record of what happened, for this is a true story, but as a warning, because I don’t believe it’s over. If you must know I was 16 when it happened, about 6ft, 200lb, blonde hair, green eyes, a little on the fat side, just an average guy. My personality could be described as passive and laid back, I didn’t care about much. Social status in high school never meant much to me, so I was a kind of loner during my life there. I didn’t care I used to spend my time walking in the woods near my house, admiring God’s world around me.
I was on one of these trips when my story begins. Just another day, I went out to unwind. It was autumn, the leaves were just beginning to fall, the light filtering in from the trees had an eerie effect on the woods, and I liked it. The smell of the leaves surrounded me and I couldn't have felt more content, then I noticed the cave. It wasn’t particularly special, but I loved looking into caves and couldn’t resist. It was dark, dank and had a musty smell, like every other cave I’ve ever been in, and I wasn’t impressed. I was about to leave when a light caught my eye. That was unusual, it looked either dim or far off, but I was betting the former. I decided to go into the cave towards the light. What I found would change my life forever.
