[ Normally, JJ would not be particularly keen to turn off his flashlight when there's no other source of light while they're trapped in a tight, dark space with a giant creature coming at them. Being in the dark where they can't see if its advancing toward them... What if it has tentacles?
But at the same time, they don't really have a lot of options. And even if it were to slither toward them, it's not like JJ has any weapons that he can fight back with, except for his modestly sized hammer.
He clicks his flashlight closed and the world disappears around them.
—Or rather, that would have been ideal. Except that the darkness makes all the thuds and screeches of the creatures all the more loud, and suddenly it feels like its the body of the beast that's surrounding them instead of rock, the click of its teeth and the heavy movements of its body reverberating around them in the, louder than their shallow breaths. JJ closes his eyes at how unrelenting it is, because it's not like it matters anyway.
It's only out of instinct that he goes silent, it doesn't do much for the thundering. At least not at first, until a quiet eventually falls over them, though JJ's ears are still ringing from the sheer magnitude of the noise.
It's gets so quiet eventually that JJ has to wonder if they've just died, or entered some void. Is Richie even still there? ]
...
[ Breath still caught in his throat he just reaches out to see if he can grab the other man. Hopefully the shock hadn't scared him to death. (It can't get much worse, but being trapped here with a corpse would definitely do it.) ]
