The House On Black Lake
“Anything is possible in the underground. There are no seasons. Nature doesn’t exist. Some inhabitants never leave,” Ruth tells me, as I follow her down a narrow staircase and weave through a labyrinth of tunnels.
There are no commercial establishments along this raw cement corridor, although there is an occasional oddly shaped door with a symbol. The tunnel grows more narrow and steep as it twists and turns downward. The air is damp, cold, steeping with a raw undercurrent of the subterranean. I... grasp onto the steel railing and struggle with claustrophobia, and a powerful desire to turn back, to race up to fresh air and sunlight. I cannot fathom an existence beneath the earth.
Ruth stops in front of a door pinned with a clover talisman and knocks three times in quick succession. A woman with a girlish face opens the door and reaches out a slender hand.
“I am Sophia, Kevin’s assistant. He is ready to greet you.”
“Go ahead,” Ruth says. “I’ll wait in the lobby.”
“I will introduce you,”MoreLess
