Clang clang clang clang

Her heart beat faster. She was standing still on the metal walkway, the darkness around her pressing in, save for the tiny diameter of light from her flashlight falling on the blocked hallway in front of her. The pocket radio started to rumble with faint static.

She whirled around, flashlight beam swinging wildly, cutting through the darkness. The incessant clanging against the metal flooring had ceased, yet the static on the radio had turned from a low rumble to an erratic whining.

Clang clang

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Into the beam of light stepped the salivating creature that she had first encountered upon entering this wretched town.
