A Loud Crack
A while ago, he had watched something on the news about a miner who had dug through dirt and stone to find an ancient egg. He looked at the wet sand and gravel before him and wondered but shook his head to rid himself of the daydream. He thought he was way in over his head.
He got back to work and started digging, but that’s when he heard a loud crack. He was startled at first and realized that he must’ve hit something hard.
