Assalamualaikum

this is my first attempt, so forgive me for my bad grammer and lack of creativity ;o

He stood staring into the gloomy tunnel. It wasn't fear, he was sure. He looked at himself in an almost comical, childish manner. He didn't know, that's what it was, he didn't know.

But he couldn’t get his head round it. What was it he didn't know, what was he supposed to know, he didn’t even know what he didn’t know?

A scurrying sound brought him back to reality. He looked down to see a rat hurry past, now that rat looked busy, knew what it was doing, why didn’t he?

He stood, almost inanimate, save his chest gently heaving to keep the blood pumping to his brain so that he may keep puzzling, puzzling which only sought to increase that puzzle, the more he thought, the greater it grew, he couldn’t describe, put into words. How could he explain that which he did not know of that which he did not know, it was an endless cycle, it would have drove him to his death were it not for his will to live.

And that, what was that, like a safety chip within a robot to save it from self destruction, why was it there, what was there?

Suddenly he moved, swinging around he took a long hard look behind him; the same long dark, damp tunnel. Save that he knew that which he had passed along the way, surely it couldn’t be so different ahead? So why was he so hesitant?

Turning back, he let out a sigh, at the back of his mind, that puzzle began to grow, like a tumour with a mission, like an explosion ripping through, rippling through the compressed and cramped little rooms in his head, pushing forward like some crazed zombie eating its way through his head, until he felt it, the pain! Ah the pain! Slicing with monstrous ferocity through the nerves, clasping his head letting out a gasp, a sob, and feel to his knees.
