Breakfast
The room was like any I had seen on any episode of Law and Order or other police procedural. They invited me here, said it was voluntary, but I knew it was not. After a while, I lost all track of time. I dozed off and then woke with a start. I’d read somewhere that Thomas Edison slept for an hour or two at a time, around the clock. Not much different from my own bouts insomnia.

Through the keyhole
Although I first heard rumors of the tunnels when I was nine, it was Jamie Weitz, my first girlfriend in the seventh grade, and what she told a group of us at her Halloween party. We were too old to trick or treat, but still young enough to enjoy scaring each other. Most of the stories were lame until Jamie shared one about her father. Ned, now head of a big security firm, had once ventured into the tunnels while he was a student at City University in the 1970s. Not only was he amazed at the vast size of the tunnels, easily big enough to drive a truck through, he presumably saw rats as big as cats.
