Baneful, manufactured decay eerie, drab, atmosphere swaddles stone walls wail, briny dismal tears stagnant puddles, linger upon ruinous, dreary, derelict paths rancid foul stench, squalid minds unlit musk, dank, tunnel conceals societies obsolete, unruly observing eyes, close in secret quivering hands, steady weary stance, shrieks echo through, high pitched whistles malicious pit whines, engulfed in greed screams absorbed, through murderous throat stealing adrift shadows, to feast fleeing terror, quavering legs sprint stumbling towards, sunlight caress as church bells chime, Sunday's hymns.

Hi Joanna, What a well written, intriguing, and interesting take on the contest theme. It leaves the reader to paint their picture of what happened in the tunnel. Well done. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day and weekend- Alexis
