Nightshift 35: South Hall [Basement]
((From here.))
The darkness here was thick and oppressive. Even with the beam from his glowrod, it was difficult to get a clear idea of what, exactly, was ahead. For a moment, he reached out with his senses, but he was met with murky clouds of aggression, cold air, and something else he couldn't identify. There was a draft, but that wasn't why his stomach turned uncomfortably as goosebumps ran up his arms and spine. The low, whistling noise from the wind blowing through seemed to be warning them of the dangers here, and not of the sort they'd faced before.
There was something evil down this hallway. He was certain of it.
And yet there was only one direction for them to go now.
"Stay close," he quietly murmured as they ventured into the darkness. He kept his light carefully trained on their path, and his senses on alert.
