The Pie Rock Farm's 2 residents live a mundane life. Igneous Rock Pie tends to and harvests the rocks, and Cloudy Quartz seeds, classifies, and exports them. Their routine had remained unchanged for years, save for the occasional holiday, until one day. Igneous finds a cave. Will the depths of its stony halls prove to be a boon to the Pie family?
Or its doom?
Premise based on the story of Floyd Collins, and, of course, Man in Cave.
A nearly-late entry in the Ancestral Tribute contest!

Praying for your success!
Nice work. I love how well the methodical, matter-of-fact tone meshes with the characters' attitude... though part of me can't help but wonder why Igneous never broadened the tunnel into the pit room. Still, surprisingly engaging given the dry delivery. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.
That was a good story.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
actually got that sense of jubilant relief when he got out, just like with a real life or death situation :D
