Unfriendly weather conditions

The storm had begun to worsen, and the visibility was poor, making it difficult to see. He knew that he could not return to his home in the snow and that waiting in the cold would result in his freezing to death. Consequently, he decided to return to the cave and locate the entrance. Despite his apprehension, he returned to the cave with a sense of relief.

Both scared

Mark could tell that the dog felt the same discomfort as he did. He was quiet with his tail tucked under his legs. Mark was certain that there was something in the cave, but what? He was torn between the idea of waiting near the entrance and being attacked, or of exploring the cave thoroughly and knowing what awaited him. He had decided that he would rather face danger than hide in fear, so he removed his phone flashlight and began to descend into the cave; the dog followed him, but did not seem to dare to look back.
