Beneath the Rails

<p>Beneath the city something waits.</p><p>When a routine inspection sends two subway maintenance workers deep into forgotten tunnels they uncover a world the city was never meant to see. Beyond the last functioning lights the tunnels twist into ancient stone corridors; places not built for trains but for something far older. And in the darkness they are not alone.</p><p>Gaunt skeletal figures stir in the shadows their hollow eyes watching their tooth-lined maws opening to screams that echo through the earth. What the workers awaken is not a nest but a kingdom; a subterranean dominion of creatures that once ruled the depths and are hungry to reclaim what lies above.</p><p>Every step forward drags them deeper where the tunnels themselves seem alive the walls shifting the air pulsing with an unseen rhythm. Survival means more than escaping the creatures; it means escaping the city's buried history before it swallows them whole.</p><p>For those who descend there is no guarantee they'll come back the same. Or at all.</p>
