"Whew! Damn, it smells down here," said Harry, who had been trying hard to ignore the offending stench.

He couldn't believe he'd actually been glad to have the dirty rags covering him to breathe through. The air was not only putrid, but weeping moisture and goo dripping off the walls and ceiling made the humid air unbearably heavy and hard to breathe. Fluorescent green, yellow and white lichen covered the walls with an eerie glow and created just enough light for the group to wind their way through the dark underground network of tunnels. Carlos alone seemed to know where he was going.

"How do you like this reality, Harry? Carlos said as he removed Harry's blindfold. "Sorry we can't do anything to make your stay more comfortable, but we're relatively safe from detection."

Harry looked anxiously into every corner and niche, above and below, as they trudged through a disgusting reddish sludge, blanketed by a smelly greenish fog. He shared a concerned look with Dar who had also had her blindfold removed. Both seemed to have drawn the conclusion that they were on their way to Hell.

"Under the city. Used to be a sewer—a disposal for human waste. Chemicals and oil from the nearby disused plants that haven't been operational in 50 years or so. When they abandoned them, the owners just left their trash. Not very pleasant is it?
