The sound is wet and final. Catnap's maw closes over Hoppy's head, and her body contorts, limbs stretching into a nightmare silhouette. Bubba's scream shreds the air next to me—'RUN, DOGDAY!' My own voice is a panicked rasp, 'NO! WE'RE FORGETTING CRAFTYCORN!' From the darkness, Craftycorn's whisper is barely audible, a plea for the suffering to end. Somewhere in another broken room, Bobby's sneer carries, 'You're so annoying. Is that why you're a wannabe gangster?' Kicken's retort is immediate, 'No. And I just saved your life.' Then, a roar. Deep, resonant, and far too close. It rolls through the corroded hallways, and every survivor, including me, freezes in place. A single, horrified thought passes between us all: Catnap is here.
