The night solstice nears, and the highest high tide of the year breathes life into a slumbering giant of the dark: Riftia, the giant cave worm of Sutro Baths.
You enter its dark maw, and see waves crashing against rocks at the distant opening on the other end. As you walk through the darkness of the worm’s insides, you look left and see a treacherous, dimly lit corridor leading down to wet sand. Leaning into the abyss, you peer beyond the twists and turns, and see a large crack letting in sunlight and salt air. Suddenly, a wave fills the opening entirely, plunging you back into darkness. You see nothing, hear nothing. It is only the deep rumbling and cold breath of air – WHOO! WHOO! WHOO! – that prepares you for the sudden crash of water splashing into you. WHOO! WHOO! WHOO! The giant worm awakes!
