But now begins our last tale of terror this Halloween season. Read part one below and get a firsthand look at what is happening at Ground Zero.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Pig City, the sun is setting, and a thin foggy mist hovers just above the grassy ground.

Somewhere below the thin mist, a tiny mouse is searching desperately for something to eat. The last few days have been a complete struggle for our puny protagonist. An infestation of inedible fungi has taken over his entire habitat. What isn’t covered in brown bulbous mushrooms is covered with a fuzzy white carpet of mycelium. Gross.

Finding nothing that hasn’t been touched by the intrusive fungus in the forest, the mouse enters a clearing hoping for some tasty grass. No dice. His search for food has been totally fruitless – literally. However, he stumbles upon something else in the clearing. A sort of round hatch door sits right there in the middle of the fungus-infested grass. There is a hole in the top that looks to be just big enough for a starving field mouse.

The mouse puts his ear to the hole, and he hears the distant sound of snorting. PIGS! And you know where there are pigs, there has to be food! That’s all it takes to get the mouse to leap headfirst into the hole into the blackness beyond.

He descends a metal ladder at the bottom of which lies a diamond plated steel floor. The interior is shrouded in darkness. The only light source is a horizontal beam of light shining from the space beneath a door. Looks like that’s the only way out. He squeezes himself under the door, and out into an expansive hallway.

Grey floors. Grey walls. Grey everywhere. Fluorescent lights. Grey hallways create a labyrinthine underground complex for who knows what. What are these pigs getting up to down here? Our minuscule mouse has no idea. He’s just here for the food, which has to be down here somewhere, right?

Our hungry hero now has three choices. Neither of which guarantees his safety. 1) In front of him is a long hallway seemingly with no end, or no end he can see from here. Doors open on either side into small rooms. Electric blue light flickers from a few doorways as muffled snorting conversations are heard reverberating off of the hard grey walls. 2) To the right a stairwell descends to a lower level. 3) To the left, a steaming roasted turkey with all the fixings.

Wait– what? The mouse shakes his head in disbelief. Upon regaining his vision, he realizes that there is in fact no turkey, but there is an angry looking pig bearing down on him. Uh-oh! Gotta think fast! Down the stairs he goes.
