The chimp that had burst into the hospital, causing chaos and confusion, was part of a larger mystery, one that lay hidden beneath the earth in this forgotten well. As David’s light danced over the shapes moving below, he called up to her, “These are the same creatures, Jessie!”
“The chimp… maybe it was leading us here on purpose,” David’s voice trembled, his words echoing off the damp walls of the well. “It seems like it wanted us to find these creatures, trapped down here.” Jessie, peering into the darkness illuminated by the shaky beam of David’s flashlight, felt a chill run down her spine.
