Elizabeth woke. She was halfway under a desk, and the lights were still out. Something burbled in the darkness, and she froze. Earlier, unable to sleep, she’d been going to her office when she found the control room dark. Then something big had walloped her across the room. Her radio was broken. The console with the alarm was twenty feet away. She limped a few feet, pausing as something slithered nearby, upsetting a chair. Hobbling towards the console, she neared the railing. On the lower level, something huge writhed disturbingly. After it died, they still didn’t know what it was.
