The Story Begins...

    by: akatheguy Author IconMail Icon
Walking in through the cloth curtain you used as the front door of your "apartment" in the walls, you sighed and took off your makeshift backpack and climbing equipment. It hadn't been the most fruitful of trips, but you had enough to get through the next few days anyway. What had been most annoying was the delicious smell of frying onions coming from apartment 503.
