Deep into the Mine

The putrid smell and mixture of body odors assailed their nostrils everywhere they went. It wasn't ridiculous to describe this place as Hell.

Emily puckered her brows while covering her nose and even Edward coughed unbearably, placing his handkerchief over his mouth. To some extent, this might be the reason why he wasn't willing to enter the mine.
