Where Tom was being held, it was devoid of most light. He had grown accustomed to digging by just the light of the thing's... he didn't even know what they were. Ears? Whatever they were, they glowed whenever the things spoke. He gripped the shovel that he had been given and got back to work. The things got angry if someone wasn't working.
