Great entries, everybody.
I also had an idea I've been playing with. Maybe not part of official contest since it's late but I wanted to post it anyway.
Winner will be decided by vote.

Chapter 4 - Finally, Outside
A man climbed. A man needs to climb. The light-struck hights beckon a man by their forbidden call and a man must heed their call for call they do. Behind and bellow, from the calustrophobic darkness of murkiness of a man's past come the jeers and shrilly littletigercalls of the small-minded. A man does not respond.

Chapter 7 - Still Climbing Despite Adversities
Hands are weary and trembling and bleeding and sore and trembling-weary and bleeding-sore and trembling-weary-sore and bleeding-trembling-weary and so on and so forth. Also hands were also dirty. Also, hands were also nail-dirty and nail-broken. In other bodily aspects, Eyes are stinging with the miasma of mucky sweat-filtered light. Light is color-broken and muck-filtered and sweat-imbued and sweat-colored. Color is gucky-color; color is gunky-color; color is oozy-color; color is slime-limy-color; color is also sludgy-slow and sludgy-hued and sludgy-feely. A man breaths and the breath is icy, day-clean. It is not mucky-dirty and it is also not sludgy-dirty and it is also... A man blinks a few times and now everything is so so so much better

Chapter 13 - Holding to the Cracks, Still Not-Falling but Luuky-LOOKING
A man is no longer night-ridden. A man has left the Cave and his fellows in the ever-darkness and the shadows.
For the great beyond has beckoned and one man among all its night-ridden shadow-limned fellows, a Man, has answered its call. A man digs his fingers into the unforgiving rockaxe-sharp cracks and glances, face wonderment-filled at the shapes in the vast vista bellow him. His virginal eyes soak in the bright sight of this great outside. There's depressions and knobby elevations and green shapes, enormously far, enormously colorful to his newborn-naive naive joyous eyes. A man names these things to demarcate their meaningfulness in the rapidly filling void that is a man's imagination. Like semi-old gum a man stretches man's imagination with rainbowy-colors and 3DEuclidianGeometry-concepsisespcisesces. In his mind wondrous word after wondrous word take shape and form: They are Crags and Hills and Truisesbentbypassionatewind. Or at least man thinks so.
A man is tired and his body is covered by strange moistness man doesn't like the feel of very much. And a man's skin is all red and sore. So slowly, slowly, like a cave-crab on a tricky bit of crumblyhuge wall, a man turns and begins a man's treck back.

Chapter 31 - A Man who is Back and is also is a Bad Teller
"And there was a bright round light in the blue blue (real true fabulous blue not that gray-blue over there in the cavewallpainting) vast big high beyond-hand's-grasp-far ceiling above a man has named Sky. Far far away it was but so bright, a man's eyes could see nothing else even long after a man stopped looking at that great light. And a man called it Sun. It is like the fireplace but so much harderbetterfartherstronger. It is like the one true fireplace there is to which all other fireplaces are mere shadows cast by that Sun-fireplace. And it gave light to everything it touched and filled them with wondrous colors. Not like these pathetic 2D ugly picture-colors we draw on our walls. Real colors. And, and-"
There were angry mutters from the darkness around a man. A man tried to figure what to say next. It was hard to see them in the ever-murk of Cave since man's return. Cave is so much less than Outside. StrongJaw Parvati grasped a man's hand and gave it a squeeze. Woman leaned over and neighed in a man's ear "Stop these spurting spurts of bubbling nonsense-speaking. A woman has missed her man. Her man has been absent many fires and the other man-folk have given her the special sniffs. A woman's man must come and show a woman he is still good for dark-corner innie-outie. A woman is starting to get impatient. Woman sniffs meaningfully.
A man is taking a shuddering breath. A man's body is not interested in reliving Great-Outside at this moment and a man's tongue has lost all the words. Murky touchy-feely concepts overshadow and swallow wondrous outsidy-concepts for the moment. "Humm-humm!" a man says and a man's feet lead the slinking-stumbling way into deeper-darkness.

"And there are Hills!"
"Uhhhh!"
"And Crags!"

Chapter 83 - A man Flees Leaving both Cave and Woman
A man hurts. A man is sad. A man is furious but a man is all the same weak and hopelessly outnumbered. "Mercy," a man calls, and "Please, listen," and "I mean no harm only good! only good." But still they kick him. Still they denounce him. "Liar!" and "Light-blind fool." and "Raving", "Weakling", "Fire-flee-er". A man lifts man's arms protectively. The others jeer and kick and jeer some more and then they spit and mock and throw some rocks. It really hurts.
Behind the cave-mob man thinks man sees man's hated rival Big-Stick Squint-eye. Rival holds man's woman's arm. A man thinks. It is still hard to see in Cave-Murk and beatings not help. "Strong-Jaw! Come with man. Leave Cave with man!" a man calls but the Squint-eye is strong and he says "You unfit for me-man's woman. You weak and eye-sore and mind-addled and bone-fractured and skin-reddened and Cave-hateful. Man's woman beg man show little mercy. Man says flee or strong eye-sharp mind-whole Cave-men finish weak broken rave-man and Cave-women feed man-pieces to Cave-crabs to fatten and sweeten for fire-pot." Squint-eye laughs his big laugh and rest of cave-men laugh too and cave-women yowl and lift their torches to show women's toothy grins.
A man's eyes will not serve a man. The wondrous shapes of that wondrous wondrous not-cave place overshadows by its clan-chiefiness the obscure pathetic shapes of a man's tribe-place. A man feels cavewall at a man's back. A man waves a man's hands in front of a man to ward off the other men. A man remembers the sharp, proud call of the flapping one who flapped in the great nothingness and did not fall. A man cannot see man's Strong-Jaw. The murk has swallowed woman. A man stumbles to forbidden-wall-hole and climbs once more grasping for the distant light.

Epilogue - A man finds newcave, a better-brighter cave and there is much happiness
A man is high. So high. Even many flapping ones not as high. Man's newcave is not dark. Newcave is not filled with obscuring murk. Walls are seethroughwalls and man has call them cristel. Man alone for much time but still man happy. Man even makes new name for man: Zor Athoosta. Zor likes Zor's name's soundmeaning and Zor is content. Zor mind is filled with the wondrous TrueColors and TrueShapes but now there is a noise in newcave's entrance. Zor looks and Zor-eyes widen and Zor-jaw drops. In newcave entrance is Strong-Jaw. Zor-arms flap wide open. Zor -voice warbles joyfully and Zor-legs carry him in a great big jump to Zor's-Strong-Jaw who is also Zor-mate and Zor-mouth latches and ringingkiss kissees Zor's-mate-whois-Strong-Jaw-lips and Strong-Jaw-whois-Zor's-mate-lips kiss Zor's lips back.
And they find a bright-bright corner and do the innie-outie.
