The Tunnel
The tunnel shook again, small cracks creeping through old masonry, and Nora grabbed onto Billy to keep her feet. Jack was trying to urge Marie forward but he couldn't get her to stop crying. Nora didn't blame her, the whole thing was terrifying and nobody had a clue what was going on. They'd pushed forward through the old river tunnels after their normal entrance collapsed and now they were down to two flashlights."Are those bombs?" Jack asked, his voice cracking from the dust in his throat.
"Who would bomb fucking Trenton? We have like two thousand people in the whole town." Billy snapped back. Nora swept her light ahead, a large metal door at the end of the hallway coming into view.
"What then? An earthquake?" Marie managed between sobs. Nora stepped back and grabbed Marie's other hand, finding it slick with blood from the fall.
"No, honey. We're nowhere near a fault line." she replied, doing her best to sound comforting.
"Shit, man. This is fucked," Jack moaned, his bravado fading. "I just wanted to smoke some pot and get laid..." He fell silent as the door ahead of them suddenly creaked and began to swing open.
