Bound by broken pieces
The air was damp, earthy, claustrophobic.
Kenneth followed, pulling the door shut behind us. The tunnel swallowed us in shadows, lit only by faint emergency lamps bolted into the stone walls.
The silence pressed in, broken only by the sound of our footsteps splashing against the damp ground. My breaths came shallow, ragged.
Finally, I whispered, “Who are they?”
Kenneth didn’t slow. “Ghosts.”
I frowned, my chest tight. “Ghosts?”
His jaw ticked. “Men who should’ve stayed buried. Enemies who don’t forgive. Don’t forget.”
