We’re gonna do a little thought experiment that will probably make you stare blankly at the wall while your mind races for an hour like it did to me.
Or at least I hope it does.
God bless Reddit for bringing us all prompts like these:
You can go back 100,000 years to a cave that will be discovered by archeologists, what do you write on the wall to mess with them? from AskReddit

8. The shadow
They have taken the bridge and the Second Hall.
We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long.

The shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get out.
They are coming.

14. Curse you
what I’d do is find out who was in the team and when they were born (before I left).
Then, once I got there, I’d put their names and birth dates on the cave wall, and I’d then put the same date (let’s say 9/9/21) and then I’d write “the curse is true. Your days are numbered.”
