Honeycomb

Katie thought she had been prepared for anything. Nothing could have prepared her for the eerie scene in front of her. She blinked in shock, and bumped into Jared. They both gazed across the massive cavern in fascination.

The tunnel entrance opened about twenty feet above the cavern floor. The ledge she stood on was about four feet wide. The smooth walkway hugged the wall to the right of them, sloping down to meet the floor of the cave.

There was no sign of mites or watchers. The lack of both creatures made Katie increasingly uneasy. The eerie silence contained in the vast underground chamber seemed to grow louder.

At least three stories tall and easily the size of five soccer fields the area looked like a deserted underground ballroom, a ballroom that nature might have created while sunk in a fit of boredom. The combined light from all the glow moss remained a steady brightness as a gentle flow of air swept around the huge area. Large, sweeping designs, similar to what she saw on the ramps, covered the floor. The flat surface was dirty and covered with small rocks, but it was entirely smooth as if buffered by human hands.

The ceiling was neither smooth, nor rough. The rocky dome was oddly empty of stalactites, appearing slightly pitted with matching swirls and patterns. The room’s odd appearance dispelled any hint of the large cave being a work of nature.

No, whatever the place was, the gigantic area wasn't a naturally formed cavern.

The left wall was solid rock. The wall opposite of where they stood had a dozen openings of various sizes. She was too far away to be certain, but several of the openings looked like they might have pillars on either side of them. She took it all in with a single glance.

The remaining wall was another story.

Her gaze locked onto the cavern wall to the right of them. The unnatural work of art held her spell-bound.

The entire wall was a honeycomb of openings. The random holes ranged from a hand-span in width to four feet wide. A few of the openings glowed with a soft internal light. Others appeared to be sealed with some type of chunky clay.

Small creatures ran along the base of the wall. The swiftly scuttling bodies were the only thing that moved within the vast chamber. The color of the little creatures reminded Katie of an oval shaped skrivett. The odd little animals were only about a foot high. Their smooth beige-colored skin looked pearly, somewhat waxy.

The nearer Katie and the others got to the base of the honeycombed wall she understood why the little animals looked familiar. They were mites, only a different variety. They had four small, jointed legs and no stingers. They did have two very odd looking antenna with teeny-tiny like digits wiggling around. The tiny digits looked almost like the red cilia on stalks of markles, only much smaller. The long appendages moved constantly, either patting the surface in front of them or waving the antenna through the air.
