Fires rage all around the compound lighting up the night sky like a becon. And surely someone has noticed the cconstant magazine reports echoeing through the darkness even in this remote location.Time is running short.

But in the cool, dank recess of a storm cellar, Jay and Daniel calmly steel themselves for an encounter with god knows what. One rickety, termite-infested door is all that separates them from death or salivation.

Which will it be?

The end game is drawing nigh. While most of Task Force S.I.R.E.N. is scrabbling to reach the safety of their vehicle two members steel themselves before entering the storm cellar and the horrors that may lie lurking within.
