Chapter 1
Fourteen soldiers slowly approached a weird old concrete structure. It is covered in decaying rust coated barbwire. The smell or rot and mildew sprays from a 7 ft tall metal cage door.
As they slowly stepped up to the rusted wall of metal. Officer Maronnie kicked the cage door open with a high pitch screech.
“ Something’s down there sir, look i saw movement down towards the edge of the opening. See down in the darkness?”
Said one of the other soldiers pointing down to the dusty cold.
The sound of metal groaning and creaking echoes deep within.
“ Keep with me, dont wander.”
The captin mutters as he crawls down the metal ladder down. It seems to use to be a fancy elevator shaft, but only the tunnel is left.
It takes a whole five minutes to carefully crawl down the shaft.
The sounds around them echo of metal yelling and weird wet squishes. Like meat is getting smashed around pipes and poles.
Slowly the men crawled down the long dark hole till they stomped their steel toe boots to the floor. Each step on the screaming metal floor echoes louder due to the open area. A cavern of rooms and pipes coated in rusty water and dirt.
As they stomped through the cavernous womb like room.
Spider webs crisscross across pipes and stones.
“ Keep close god knows what’s down in this damn chasm.”
The head soldier states, even when two soldiers sneak off down a hallway.
Finding test rooms, some filled with blood and then some with deep scratches.
The smell in this place was like rot from a carcass in the texas heat. The atmosphere felt too crisp, too clean and or artificial.
Each soldier went into a room to study and search but neither returned to the group.
Only screams in the distance echoes from every corner of the rooms.
The soldiers barely have time to react before something they can’t see clearly enough to identify. The head soldier is able to scale down deeper into the large complex. Weird arms, flesh and bones growing from
Every corner the further he goes. Almost like a blender has emulsify a bunch of men and woman into the very foundation.
The very last room he breaks into only has a collection of computers as all are broken. And a chair, skin grown around it with a small picture of friends huddled around each other at a beach . Blood dried all over the picture. A weird fluid begins to slowly drip down onto the soldier’s shoulder. As he looks up to hear a weird cacophony of clicking. bones and teeth like gears echoes snaps together from above.
…..Duncan and Connie were quietly making out in the back of the van when Arther yanks open the doors. Connie yanked her head up wipping her mouth of spit before berating him. Arther simply laughed at his friends embarrassment.
Aubrey and charleston were already inside exploring the foundation of the creepy Baxter mansion. A large fortress left abandoned for over fifteen years.
The Decay flowers is a group of urban explorers on a mission. Hundreds of homes are left abandoned everywhere and hundreds of people are in fact homeless. So the group wishes to find places livable and prove it by living there for a month.
Thus this place is their newest beast to tame. With funding from some rich investors. Mr Lawerence and his two sons Patrick, and Robert buy property and builds things such as apartments and homeless shelters.
They’re not the most trustworthy people but they are the only ones giving Decay flower the chance of day.
As the group prepares to explore the manor to stay the month, they have their travel supplies. Gallons of water, foods, and things they need to survive.
Charleston is exploring the upper rooms already. He finds the ground creaks a lot more than comfortable.
The walls smell of old mildew and flowers. He even finds so old wine bottles. Sneaking them for himself later.
Arther walked in, “ hey bro, how’s the upper floors holding up?” Arther asks , he has a shaven head with some piercings. Charleston is the most youngest one of them. Fluffy ginger hair, face drowning in freckles. He is only two years younger. They all being mid twenties.
As connie and Aubrey were in the basement searching around.
As connie leaned down to inspect some old nicknack’s. Duncan slowly approached.
He gently ran his hand on her back jumpscaring her. She squeaked adorably,” Duncan!” She hissed before smiling and playfully slapping his shoulder. Aubry rolled her eyes at their flirty display. “ get a room you two, “ Aubrey teases. Duncan pulls Connie closer as both them started smirking at each other, up till the sound of wood splintering stops them.
As charleston and Arther are talking upstairs the floor boards creaked ominously.
As Arther leaned on the back wall, wood and plaster snapped like damn holding gallons of river water. Arther tumbles back, catching himself on the ledge.
His legs dangle off the side towards the ground a couple floors down.
“ Charley help!” Arther commanded as he clung to the side. His legs wave in the wind.” I can’t hold on, the wood is cracking!” Arther adds, dust flowing across his face.
Charleston slowly stepped up, he fearfully stared down at the drop. If he didnt help he himself a less chance he gets hurt. But he would leave his friend to fall, finally he reached down and struggled to pull Arther up. Charleston is the weakest of them. As the wood creaked and popped under them, a large old wardrobe slides an falls out of the hole and slams into the dirt below. A loud crash of wood echoes outside,
Hearing the problems upstairs the other three run up to find the boys running down stairs.
They all make it outside, confirming the place is in fact not safe to stay for a month.
So they pack up and prepare to go home.
