The air inside the train tunnel felt heavy and damp, like a light fog at night. The toe of Cody’s boot caught on a railroad tie. He stumbled farther into the darkness. After he regained his balance, he jammed his cowboy hat down tighter on his head and kept walking. He could feel a coiled, stiff nylon rope in his right hand. But he couldn’t see it.
“I thought this tunnel was only a hundred feet long. How can it be so dark in here? Why can’t I see the opening at the east end? Did they close it off?”
He stopped and turned his head back. The front opening of the tunnel was no more than a pinpoint of light in the distance.
“This tunnel is huge! I would go back if it weren’t for the wolves.”
There weren’t supposed to be any wolves left in north-central Idaho. But then the tunnel at Deception Pass isn’t supposed to be this long either. Maybe this is a mine shaft and not a railroad tunnel, like he thought when he walked into it.
The coarse, crushed rock from the track bed crunched beneath his feet. When he stopped, he heard drops of water splashing to his right as they drained inside the granite tunnel. Although the air was cool on his arms, Cody felt sweat on his forehead.
Relax, Cody Wayne Clark. Every tunnel has an end to it.
