The Luna Choosing Game
I searched for footing, but the ground totally collapsed beneath me.
I fell down, down, down – and then abruptly stopped with a thud. My arm ached something fierce, but I was otherwise unharmed.
“Piper? Oh my God, are you okay?” Veronica called down. It was unusual to hear such worry in her voice.
I opened my eyes and peered up. I had thought this might be sinkhole, but I could see now that while indeed a hole, this one is entirely manmade.
It was a trap. The net under my feet gave that away. Someone had dug a hole, strung a net overtop it and then covered the mesh with dirt and leaves to make it look like regular earth.
