The cave mouth yawns black against the starless Nevada sky. Damp stone exhales a cold, mineral breath as Chao stumbles forward, flashlight beam trembling on jagged walls. Behind him, his "friends" snicker and shove, their voices echoing into the abyss. "God, can't you move any damn faster?" one barks. Chao's heart hammers as the tunnel constricts. He doesn't see the way the rock seems to breathe, the shadows coiling like living things. Deep in the stone, something stirs, ancient and patient. Its gaze settles on him. You. you.
