Hey-if you've put yourself in a bad situation already, why not make it worse?
You put a foot down on one of the rungs to test it first. You're surprised it holds. Holding yourself on the edge, you put down your other foot (along with your entire body weight) on the ladder. It snaps under your weight (big surprise) and you find yourself falling into gray light this time.
You fall for a while, but the deeper you fall, the stranger you feel. You start to feel warm, and a tingling sensation comes over your skin. Your back hunches over and your face pushes out slightly. Muscles all over your body swell . You hit something and you screech out in shock. The sound you just made sounded like a weird cross between a human and a monkey.
You've landed on a huge net, hung over the hole like a catch. It's made of green vines and you can see a large number "1" painted on the wall. You inspect your body and are shocked to see that your body fair has grown thicker to cover your entire body in a thin coat. Your face is pushed out slightly and You are very muscular. You've becoming a Neanderthal. Looking up in wonder, you realize something. You've fallen down the evolutionary ladder!
