A chilling horror story about a desperate narrator who takes a high-paying but mysterious job at a remote, high-altitude mine known simply as “the dig.” The mine enforces a strict rule: no worker may enter the heavily sealed Level 7. Over time, the crew begins experiencing unsettling psychological effects and hearing unnatural sounds emanating from below. When an emergency forces them to use a service shaft, the crew is mysteriously rerouted directly through Level 7, where they discover the chamber is not stone but living, pulsing organic matter, with a missing coworker’s remains fused into the floor. The narrator narrowly escapes and is discharged, only to realize the radio instructions leading them there were deliberately falsified, suggesting an orchestrated trap. Haunted by the experience, he returns home plagued by trauma and discovers he is compelled nightly to dig massive holes in his yard—despite never actually having been hired for the job.
