In Their Own Story
The fluorescent tube overhead flickers, buzzes, dies. Duke Nukem keeps walking. The tunnel swallows the last of the light behind him, and now it's just the green glow of his shotgun's sight and the wet sound of his boots on a floor slick with something that isn't quite water. A pipe groans overhead, shedding a bead of rust-colored droplet that hits his shoulder. Ahead, the corridor forks. Left, the air is warmer and carries a faint chemical tang. Right, something is breathing—slow, wet, deliberate. He checks his ammo. Three shells. He picks right.
