183 Words. Again due to the lateness of the hour, somewhat lax on the spelling and grammar check:
--
It had seemed an insurmountable wall at first; Josh could remember his first days down here, the pitted surface feeling like harsh rock beneath his feet. He'd tried climbing the metallic structure a little; but the well worn surface of the brick had been his comfort.
Recalling memories of the cool shade of the tree near the house. Well, near the wall of this aged building he supposed. Still, those days were long gone, and the tiny crunching as the rusting metal flaked beneath him was now the sounds of home. Ironic it seemed, that he was better fed down here in the dark of this cellar than he'd been up in the daylight and the sun. Insects seemed so common outside, but here they seemed to fall naturally into his web.
Whatever had caused him to fall into the cellar, firing shots of web hopefully toward the fast receding floorboards as he fell, well, it seemed to cause enough insects to join him; and now as his web spread across the network of pipes, there was enough food to keep him happy.
