Hole In The Tree

I peek my head through the hole in the tree and I see an extremely long tunnel that just keeps going and going, me being who I am I start walking into the tunnel. After about 20 minutes of walking, I look back to see if the entrance is still open but it's gone. As I start to panic thinking that I am trapped inside a tree I start running as fast as I can in one direction, I start thinking to myself what do I do to get out of here? After thinking it over many times I had no good ideas there is nothing for me to use to break some part of the tree or dig a tunnel out, and the only thing I had on me is a phone with no service. My only idea was to keep running around till I got a spot with service and call for help, but after hours of trying I gave up. Later I started to get tired so I thought that I might as well just sleep and try to get out in the morning, so I lay down and slowly drift off as I fall asleep and closed my eyes… Just as I'm starting to really fall asleep I feel something wrapping around my arm and I jump up and see a tree root coming out of the ground and trying to wrap itself around me, I quickly stand up and try ripping it off as more and more roots come out of the ground to try to pull me under. I rip the roots off of my arms and try to run away as I notice that they have wrapped around my feet and I was slowing being dragged under the ground, I was trying to think of something to do at the moment but I quickly was overtaken by roots pulling me down. As I am just about to be submerged I throw my phone out and hope someone finds it in the future.

A curious unsuspecting hiker has walked into a hole in a tree and can now not find his way out, will he make it out alive or become one with the tree?
