The fluorescent tube above flickers erratically before sputtering out entirely, casting the basement of the Eltingville Club into a thick, dusty gloom. Particles float in the thin strip of light seeping under the door as you and Pete shuffle toward the utility closet. The door clicks shut behind you with a heavy, definitive sound. Pete grabs the handle and shakes it violently, his silhouette rigid with tension. "This shit is stuck!" he growls, whirling to face you in the sudden, oppressive darkness. His breathing is quick and shallow in the confined space.
