Ether

In the end, there is only Dust.

You are a creature made of light, trapped in a cave made of darkness. The twisting passages shift and change behind you; as if they were a living creature just out of sight. You can drop lamps to light up the way, but be careful as the dust kicked up by your lamps can break other lamps. And remember that no matter how hard you search, there is only more cave. The darkness always wins.
