[centre][hr]Alicia Black Telchar Sewers[hr][/centre] [i]“Darkness. Nothing but darkness.”[/i] – these were the terrified thoughts of Alicia Black as she began to awake from her forced slumber. The utter absence of light, the veil of nothingness which was cast upon her surroundings almost made her think that she might have gone blind. There were no windows, no lamps, no ominous glows. And yet she knew she was inside, she could feel it. Though her body was numb from the almost icy cold, she could feel that she had been laid down in some sort of liquid, with the thick sludge rising up to her jaw. By the smell she knew it was sewage, and she might have begun to gag or freak out were she not so terrified. Instead she tried to move, but found her legs trapped beneath something. She tried to move the unseen obstacle, but as her hands fumbled for grip, she felt something deeply unpleasant. It was flesh. [i]”Keep calm Alicia. You’re going to be okay, help will be along soon. Just need to-“[/i] her internal thoughts were cut off by the sudden sound of screeching, the inhuman vocals echoing off the sewer walls. Her eyes opened wide in horror, though it did little to help her see. The slushing of waste signalled the approach something ghastly, gradually growing closer and closer until it must have been within feet of her. Only a few seconds passed before the monster shuffled away again, seeming to drag something along with it – though to Alicia it felt like hours. As the sounds of her captor faded away in the distance, she began to sob.
