The locker room hangs in a profound silence, broken only by the slow, rhythmic drip of a tar-like substance pooling on the cracked concrete. Flickering emergency lights stretch long, trembling shadows across the floor as you step inside, your boots making a soft, tacky sound with each movement. Against the far wall, a locker vents a soft, pulsing violet glow, steady as a resting heartbeat. The air carries the tang of corroded metal and a deeper, wet, organic scent. You move closer. The glow brightens, as though aware of your approach. A low, wet vibration thrums up through the soles of your boots. Your hand rises toward the cold latch. What awaits within?
