He was walking quickly, with short, even steps, and it seemed, suddenly, as if he had been walking for hours. It wasn’t the darkness that bothered him at first. The tunnel wasn’t bright, but it was quite light enough, for the walls glowed faintly with a bluish luminescence. Ahead of him the glowing walls stretched as far as he could see. The tunnel was about ten feet wide, and ten feet high, with smooth walls arching into a perfectly smooth curve over his head. Under his feet the floor seemed cushiony, yielding slightly to the pressure as he walked, and giving off a soft, muffled sound in perfect measure to his tread.
