Top-left: The ground above remained supported by its concrete base, the ceiling of an ominous tunnel.
Top-right: Small cracks with mold and grime persisted on the surface, signifying its age.
Bottom: A shadow was illuminated by the lights above, blending slightly into the darkness of the outside.
Middle: The person walked into the tunnel, slowly walking through the quiet area. The darkness at the end of the tunnel didn't reassure them in any way, but they were curious about it.
Story:
They heard voices in the tunnel under them. They peered over the edge and saw a small sliver of light pierce through the darkness of the edge of town. They dropped down from the top of the underpass. The drop kind of hurt their feet, as it was quite steep. They looked up at the concrete ceiling of the tunnel, the base of the underpass. The dirt above it remained supported by the concrete base.
Multiple spots were covered in dark grime and black moss, made almost invisible under the cloudy night, nevermind the lights from the tunnel. They walked into the tunnel. Their shadow was cast out by the lights above, blending into the darkness of the outside night. They looked at the end of the tunnel, finding only more darkness. It didn't reassure them much, but they remained curious of what they've heard.
They moved further into the tunnel, hoping to find out what talked. Their footsteps echoed across the tunnel. Sweat trailed down into their clothes, thinking about the danger that would await should they find out.
They stop. They've reached the other side of the tunnel. They breathed a heavy sigh, sweat continuously trailing down, as they placed a hand on the corner, and peeked around it. There was nothing. They looked to the other side. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing, other than the sound of calmly rushing water. Their hand goes to their chest and they sigh a world's weight.
But, they did have to wonder, what was the breathing in their ear..?
