The corridor stretches out like a pale, concrete throat, lit by the rhythmic, dying pulse of a single overhead bulb. The heavy, cloying scent of rendered fat and pungent spices clings to the air, emanating from the ten plastic bags clutched in your grip.

You shift the weight of the leftovers, the plastic crinkling in the oppressive silence. With a shallow breath, you looks toward the first door, wondering exactly what kind of welcome awaits.
