I didn’t like going into underground places. There was something about having soil above my head that made me feel anxious.
The wine vaults of the Abbey arched above me, holding back tons of soil. It was cold but pretty down here. Still though, the only thing I wanted was to be out of here.
I ran my fingers over the white rough plastered walls and all but crawled upstairs. Once out into the room above, I felt better. The ground could no longer cave in and bury me alive.
I was safe again.

I think you’ve expressed a feeling shared by many. Though I’ve visited caves, they’ve been the ones long-opened to the public, with security systems and loads of light!

Actually I love exploring caves and underground places. As long as they are safe of course!

It’s that safety element. Agreed.
