[Fantasy] What creates bottomless pits?

My name I don't remember, though I am from Ohio. I had a wife and children and good tires on my car. What took me from my home and put me in the Earth was the mouth of deep dark hole I found behind my barn.

We chucked in garbage since I don't know when. We threw everything, dead chicken, tractors that broke down. After a while, I sat at the edge of that deep dark hole and the thought of the bottom could not escape me. I rigged myself a chariot of the old clawfoot and my wife helped me.

I sank away and when the last rope pulled tight, I had not reached the end. I got out my knife and told my wife goodbye. I cut loose from the rope and I've been falling ever since.

Will I ever hit the bottom? I can't see anything, but I know my skin has wrinkled and my body feeble with the age of an old man. How do I escape? What created this evil pit?

Pits were invented in early antiquity, in order to make kicking people more dramatic. This technology stagnated during the middle ages, until the pit-bottom was invented by William Pitt (no relation) in 1756. While building codes have ensured most American pits built after the 1930's have bottoms, bottomless pits are still frequent sites in rural areas that lack proper funding or materials for pit-bottoming. This is especially prominent in Ohio because the lack of geographical features means most people are not aware of the hazards of elevation-change-related scenery.
