They Almost Got Lost
Up to the point where they reached a fork, the passageway gave the impression of continuing on indefinitely. Mike advised them not to take any unnecessary turns while they were exploring this enigmatic underground, since this could lead to them being disoriented. Dale’s stomach lurched at the idea of being trapped down in the concrete maze for a number of hours with no apparent exit in sight.
They continued walking without exchanging another word as a result. Then, Dale’s attention was drawn to something on the ground; it was something shiny and green. As they got closer, they were able to make out what it was. It was a plastic bag purchased at a grocery store in the immediate area. Who could have known who or what would be waiting for them further along, down in the shadows?
