Chapter 2:
A deafening sound traveled across the neighborhood. The young man named Robert was trying to regain his balance when the floor underneath started to crack and crumble from the explosion. Car sirens going off and people waking up from their sleep could be heard as the once-quiet neighborhood became engulfed in chaos.
Yelling could be heard across the street from a couple of Chicago-style apartments, as the tenants was alarmed by the sound.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, IS IT THOSE PRANKTERS AGAIN" Tenant 1
"IT BETTER NOT BE, CAUSE I’ll BE SHOWING THEM MY LITTLE GEORGIE THIS TIME (his bat)" Tenant 2
"NOT UNLESS I GET TO THEM FRIST" – Tenant 1
In another section of the apartment complex, a couple had also woken up from their sleep due to the explosion and the yelling of people.
"Honey, what was that?" I heard a huge explosion. - Wife
"I am not sure, make sure the doors and windows are locked. I am going to make sure the kids are alright." – Husband
As the husband was checking on his kids, his wife was calling 9-11.
Multiple 9-11 reports of the explosion have been sent by worried citizens. With the whole street in a ruckus, it became more chaotic when a dozen police cars blazed through nearing streets with red and blue sirens.
Meantime
Robert was running as cracks and holes were forming underneath him, exposing the sewage below. Every second, new holes would form, creating a massive sinkhole. Unfortunately, it had caught up to Robert, allowing gravity to do its work and making him fall into the sewage as he screamed for help.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
"Thump"
Robert’s back hit the sewage floor. As the pain traveled through his body, it took him a while to recover from the fall.
"Ugh, that really hurt." "I gotta check my back after I get out of this hell hole." "Speaking of hell, where the hell am I at?" Robert said with a worried look.
Looking around, he saw dirty brownish liquid, which simultaneously made him tippy toe as he didn't want to get contact with it.
"Disgusting, I do not want to know what it is, I need to get out quickly"
Just as he said that, he saw a blue light flicker on the other side of the once-dark tunnel. It flickered again and again until it became continuous and fast, and then it became stable. With this current event, Robert had become intrigued by the source.
Robert: [ where is the blue light coming from? Mybe I should check it out; wait, what will happen if the cops don’t see me and leave me stranded here?]
Robert: [ I am pretty sure they will find me eventually; it's going to take time for them to get here, and they are probably not going to cover the sinkhole because those operations take hours. I was once the fastest high schooler in my school. I could probably reach it in around 3 minutes top.]
As Robert had let the demon get the best of him, he started following the blue light in hopes of finding what it was. Watching everything closely, he had seen rats and other insects that had fled away when they were close to his presence. Arriving at the destination, he found a room that was presumably behind sewage walls before the explosion. He could see the crumbling of the wall, showing a small entrance leading to the room.
"OH MY GOD IS THAT A PORTAL" as Robert exclaimed out loud
In the middle, he sees a huge portal emitting a bluish color. He looked around what seemed like a laboratory to find any context for what happened. In the far right next to the laboratory he sees a old man which looks like a professor laying next to the wall and a young man laying against huge burned wires.
Each of the scientist seem to be dead as their body lay their motion less in a pool of blood from the wound they been afflicted from the explosion and burn marks. Their science coat is dye from there blood changing from standard white to darkish red and burns spot could be seen everywhere. The whole place looks messy; you could see greenish liquid ooze out of the tanks, and broken glass and computers are scattered everywhere.
"What the fuck?" Robert said, as he didn’t know how to process what he had seen.
"Omg, what were they doing here?" Robert questioned himself, even though he did not know the answer.
Robert: [ I probably stumbled into a government experimental lab. I better leave before I get into trouble. ]
Before he was about to leave, he remembered the portal, forgetting that it existed. Robert walked forward for a closer inspection of the portal. Unbeknownst to him, the closer he got to the portal, the more it tried to suck him in. when he reached five feet from the portal. His whole body got deformed, stretching and compressing as he was sucked into the portal. At this moment, the only thing he could think of was pain.
After the unknown portal had sucked the young men, It zoomed out of the laboratory, showing no evidence of its existence.
