Batman Alleyway Novels & Stories

"Tell us the way. But I do agree, there will be trouble if it's a ruse." Aiden nodded. He couldn't reply, after all, it was a trick, and one far worse than being set on by brawny oafs. He pointed towards where the sky illuminated a metal roof, giving it a dangerous siren call. "Over there. The door is almost gone from the entrance so that may give you some sense of security," he whispered weakly, already starting to hobble forward. "It's also safer from the main streets, those things are still around. They seem to avoid the alleyways."

He left the men's room and headed straight out the back door. He wanted to see if any of the men made a moVe, more important, he wanted to scope out his environs. Tn but was an alleyway running between Beverly and Canon that serviced the buildings on both streets. He saw the bac trances of a bookstore, a drugstore, a beauty salon, aw the back en- shoe store, and a bank all within a stone's throw. To his left the alley opened up into a parking lot servicing one of the com-

It was about 120 kilometers away from the imperial city, and it was not in the downtown area but the depths of the quiet ancient road compound. The back door of certain houses in the alley seemed to be open at any time, and a young girl with an umbrella walked out and smiled at Caspian gently. "Is this the path my mother took before?" Breathing in the unfamiliar air around him, Caspian strolled forward in the rain. The Bamboo Creek Alley was not far, and its size was about 60 meters. Hence, Caspian could see the end at a glance.

They’re here. I follow the streetlights telling myself that whistling would be overdoing it as I open my senses, two sets of footfall, no three, another is coming from the other direction. I don’t turn around to confirm my calculations, I just head into the alley I made sure to pass four times this afternoon, it’s hidden and has no working street lights except for one lone bulb. I take the right, then another right then the left before I press back against the wall, and I wait.

Tightening her grip on the compartment, she murmured. In the alleyway where there are potholes full of filthy water, trash from fast-food wrappers, flattened cardboard boxes and piles of wood, Brett smelled the reeking scents of mixed human urine, rotting trash and gasoline. It's a sight he hated. However, he likes the darkness, mystery and creepiness every alleyway has to add some thrill to his thirst. "Come out while I'm asking. You won't like it if I suddenly appear behind your backs and slit your neck one by one," he said as he bathed his expensive shoes in the puddle of cold dirty water.

I retort, arching a brow as I approach him. We’re in a dark alleyway, with trash littered on either side, spilling over from the dumpsters. Or maybe there’s a family of raccoons in there tossing out the undesirable rot. Makes me wonder if they’d keep Charles’s body after he’s dead. The pavement is wet and cold, and a whirring, orange bulb hangs at the mouth of the alleyway, offering enough light to bless me with a pock-marked face and greasy hair tucked under a beanie.

We walk in silence through the rest of the short hallway. It seems to be dark gray metal with I beams reinforcing the walls and ceilings every ten feet or so. I definitely get Batman vibes walking in the corridor. I don’t know what to expect at this point, but I’m not sure if I’m more excited or afraid of spy gadgets popping up out of the ground like in the movies. I really need to not let my imagination run away with me, but it’s hard with no information to work with and Nickolas still isn’t talking to us, just silently walking.

Xander was here and even though they might post him to a different task, it was more comforting to know that there was a friend in the same building. We decided to take a shortcut down an alley of antique shops. I loved this route because it was quiet and clean. Not a lot of people must know of its existence and if they did, they must be ignoring it because the emptiness of sound was too unreal to believe that such a place existed not to talk of in a civilized city such as this one.

In the alley, the wrecked Rolls-Royce sat where it had crashed, its alarm beeping. Due to the pattering rain, not a single pedestrian passed by. The alley was located behind Nightfall Bar up ahead, and it did not get much foot traffic to begin with. Occasionally, only some drunk men and women would pass through in the dead of night. At this moment, within the alley, one man and one beast were locked in a deadly battle. Heart-pounding roars came in waves, each louder than the last. It was as if a fierce tiger lurked in the darkness, hunting its prey.

She won’t be able to enter this alley tonight. Anna looked at the blocked path. What bad luck today! Besides this alley, there is another alley that can return to her house, but that alley is quite empty, and the surrounding security is complicated. Because of that, Anna rarely went into that alley, and if she did, she would only go before it was dark. Anna looked at her watch, looked at the danger sign in front of her again, gritted her teeth, and then turned to leave. ‘Let's plunge today! It’s already too late.’ thought Anna, who had an electric baton in her pocket today.
