The air in the abandoned complex thickened, heavy with a dread that clung to the lungs. Simon moved through the decay, pale and shaking, the switchblade in his hand flashing as it cut down another grotesque horror. He could feel eyes on his back, watching from the shadows.

A figure stood in the gloom, slick with fresh blood. Simon’s arm came up, the pistol rising, his finger tightening on the trigger, ready to fire at the first sign of a threat.
