Chapter 2 the Cave

Bob climbed down in to the cave and looked about. The floor was strewn with bones and stone tools. He heard "Catch!" as he spun around and to have a flashlight in his face and was just able to react in time to grab the flashlight being tossed to him.

"I found my gear." Rachel said, pointing her light at the walls illuminating many primitive cave drawings.

Bob looked in wonder. "Wow this looks like that palace in France."

"Yes the resemblance to Lascaux is striking."

"You said there was something I needed to see, a skull?"

"Yep." Rachel turned the beam of her flashlight over to the far end of the cave to revel what appeared to be a human skull with tuffs of long black hair still attached to it. However the skull was the size of a beach ball. "Hold the light still I need to get some pictures."

Bob whistled, and said, "My god, that's incredible. How did it get in here?"

"I think that the entrance used to be over there." Rachel pointed her light a pile of rocks along one wall. "It looks like there was a cave in and our giant friend was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"I have heard that there were legends of giants in these islands. But I never thought I would see one."

"Many legends have a basis in facts."

Rachel moved about the cave taking pictures. As she did Bob noticed that there was a small cut in her shirt on her left shoulder.

"Hold up." he said moving over to her. "Let me take a look at that."

"Look at what?"

"You my have a cut and that could be dangerous in a cavern."

"Where?"

"Right here." Bob responded shining a light on her shoulder. "Hold still. It looks like there some blood; we should get out of this cave, and get some antibiotics on that."

"Your right," she said looking at all the relics around her. "We should get back anyway and I can start to get a team to do a proper excavation of the sight."

Little did she realize that it was already too late, as a single microorganism has in fact entered her body. The same organism that had infected the woman whose remains rested in the cave.
