I'm not sure if the body pictured in the last panel was meant to be dead or alive... "DRR DRR DRR" could've just been the noise of its flesh scraping against the cave walls.
Actually, I'm not sure which is creepier. Trapped in a deforming hole for months (but somehow alive at the end), or dying trapped in there and your deformed corpse emerges.
And as for the dream, it did kind of spoil it - it made the end just a "shock horror image" rather than an expected "twist" (excuse the pun). Perhaps if in the dream, the holes remained in shape and you eventually emerged fine; but due to the effects of the quake, the holes (and its travellers) ended up as something else entirely.
In any case, I still found it amusing/creepy. And I'd probably default towards assuming they're still alive, simply because "DRR DRR DRR" is a very funny sound for any living thing to make. Go ahead, say it.
