The tunnel seemed to stretch on forever. Dim lights were the only thing illuminating the desolate subways, and even then it wasn’t very bright. Faint echoes of water dripping could be heard all around and quick rushes of steam from ruptured pipes made it even more eerie. Laura was a young courier from a small town near the ruins of New York. Ever since she was a little girl, she had wanted to travel the country, and that opportunity fell right in her lap when she turned twenty-one. She had found an opening for someone to deliver important documents to the local militant faction’s leaders. Of course she had to impress them with an interview, and her appearance did her a big favour. She was a short and slender girl, a little above five foot tall and weighing just over one hundred pounds.

With a deep breath, she started to scale the debris and within seconds her hands were touching the ceiling of the passageway. Her eyes glanced further into the darkness noticing a few tripwires along the walls. She was no longer going to be safe as she climbed down into hostile territory. Immediately her hand grasped the hatchet again. She started to walk again, carefully watching her step. Her heart almost stopped as she came close to standing on the first of many tripwires in front of her. She began to breathe quickly as she stepped over it, noticing that the string was attached to the trigger of an old shotgun. She started to walk again, avoiding the rest of the wires until she reached the sandbag wall at the end of them. Laura ran her hand along the soggy hessian of the sandbags. She felt the cobwebs stick to her hand as she moved along. A foul smell began to flood her nostrils as she went deeper into the tunnels.
