Mia gripped the crowbar, heart slamming against her ribs. The summer heat baked the alley pavement, but chills spidered her skin. Daring herself after weeks of whispers from neighborhood kids, she wedged the tool into the sewer grate. Metal screamed as it gave way.

A wave of damp rot punched her nose — mildew mixed with something sharper, like wet fur. She shone her phone light down. Shadows twisted in the brick tunnel, water gurgling like a choked laugh. That's when the rumble hit, vibrating her teeth.

Mia's hand shot out before thought caught up. Claws engulfed her wrist, cool and rough like river stones. They dropped into the dark together as shouts closed in. The tunnel swallowed them, the creature's labored breaths echoing hers. Up ahead, a faint glow pulsed — a way out? Or deeper into the lair?
