All Is Not Lost / Ni vse izgubljeno

When a cataclysmic volcanic eruption flings a jumble of debris deep into a dark underground cave, these shattered components of life, an assortment of shells, sticks, eyes, rocks and limbs, driven by the eternal instinct for survival, quickly reassemble into new living creatures. The creatures stumble through the caves in a fight for survival.
Ko kataklizmični vulkanski izbruh vrže gmoto ruševin globoko v temno podzemno jamo, se ti razbiti sestavni deli življenja, raznovrstne lupine, palice, oči, kamni in okončine, ki jih poganja večni nagon po preživetju, hitro sestavijo v nova živa bitja. Spotikajo se po jamah in se borijo za preživetje.
