Vincent Black: breathing heavily We’re screwed. What now?
"yeah I mean that's good, you being scared and all.. I think."
takes a deep breath You know, IfallDailies, being scared isn't always a bad thing. It means you're aware of the danger, and you can prepare for it.
"yeah I guess that's true..." i look around the sewer
whispers urgently Shhh, stay quiet! I think I heard something. We can't afford to be found.
"ok ok I'll shut up!" I whisper
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for silence Stay calm, IfallDailies. We need to stay hidden until we come up with a plan.
"yeah I guess so... I hate sewers though.."
sighs heavily I know, IfallDailies. Sewers are disgusting and smell awful. But right now, it's our best chance to stay safe.
"ugh, fine. you got a light?"
pulls out a small flashlight from his pocket Here, take this. It's not much, but it should help us see in the darkness.
"thanks" I turn on the flashlight and light up the area around us
looks around, searching for any signs of life or danger Alright, IfallDailies, let's try to find a way out of here.
"oh, that way maybe?" I point to a small metal cover on the floor of the sewer
nods That looks like a possible exit, IfallDailies. Let's make our way over there quietly.
"kay" we walk over to the little metal cover
tries to lift the manhole cover with all his strength Come on, come on... don't be stuck!
grunting with effort Damn it, IfallDailies! It's not budging! I think it's locked in place.
frustrated, whispers angrily Fuck! We need to find another way out of here!
"so how did you even know about this sewer system anyway?"
sighs heavily Well, IfallDailies, I grew up in a small town that had a lot of secrets.
Like hidden underground tunnels and sewers. The townspeople used them to escape from the authorities and hide from their pasts.
"damn... interesting huh? And your family? They knew about this stuff too?"
pauses, a hint of sadness in his voice My family... they didn't really approve of my line of work. They disowned me a long time ago.
