Chapter 1: The Corpse of Steel(13)
Another sigh escaped my throat without my mouth opening as I returned to a relaxed position.
"Okay, just calm down kid. What is "it" exactly?"
Even as the question left my lips, I became aware of a strange rumble growing louder around me. Within the cement coffin it was hard to tell which direction it approached from with just my ears, so I took a step back to the corridor and rested my hand on the crumbling frame once more. Instinctively, the teenager scrambled to the far corner and returned to his fetal ball.
It was coming from my left, but very slowly. With each passing second the sound became clearer - a sort of grinding and the dragging of fleshy material as it moved. I took a step out into the hall and waited to deal with 'it.'
"Is... she the one you're afraid of?" I ask, not expecting a response as I continue to talk to 'it' instead, "ma'am, I'm here to help. Are you okay?"
