If you take a deep breath, you'll smell something you haven't since you entered the cave. Fresh air.
You're out. You're done. You're alive.
Just a little walking left.
Light.
That's all that mattered to him at the moment was the light. So much light behind the door!
Having opened it, he squinted his eyes to adjust to the new brightness before stepping into the corridor. The light was coming from the other end, causing his heart to explode with anticipation. Light, meant light from outdoors!
OUTDOORS!
Breathing deeply, he noticed that the air was unlike the kind in the cave. It wasn't heavy or had a weird musky smell to it, but it was clean. Easy to breathe. Fresh! Oh, fresh air..
And light. This was the only time, he wasn't scared of walking to the light.
