-Somewhere in the Middle East

Kennedy walked into the darkness beyond the door, sweeping his torch back and forth across the floor and over the walls. They appeared to be in some kind of antechamber, like an entrance hallway or lobby, and there was a pair of double doors in front of him. The chamber was sparse with little in here apart from a few murals on the walls. Kennedy wanted to have a better look at the paintings, but before they settled into going over the finer details, he was keen to have a look around and see the whole building.

He walked forward, towards the double doors, noticing that these weren’t sealed up like the outer ones. In fact, they were slightly ajar with one of them sitting open.

He could see something on the floor, sticking out of the doorway, but it was difficult to make it out in this haphazard lighting as the torches moved around.

Moving closer, he was quite close before he realised what it was.

Sticking out of the door were the bones of a human foot and lower leg.

He paused for a moment and looked at it, but they had already seen a few similar skeletons in here, so it wasn’t too shocking. Approaching the door, Kennedy saw that the leg belonged to a whole and complete skeleton on the other side of the door, and there seemed to be more beyond.

Kennedy reached up and pulled on the door, heaving it open, revealing a vast chamber beyond that had a similar ambient, if dim, light to it as the chamber outside did, and the whole room was covered in the bones of the dead.

There must have been hundreds, probably thousands of people in here, and there was nothing left of them apart from their dry, brittle bones scattered over the entire floor from wall to wall.

‘Well, I think we found out where the city’s population went to,’ Kennedy said, as a skull dislodged from a nearby skeleton and rolled out into the antechamber before coming to a stop.
