The caves run a lot deeper than they’ve told you – it’s a vast network and even after years we don’t know how far it reaches. Tommy and Marcus spent the better part of two weeks down there, they said there was architecture. Roman arches, fragmented aqueducts and bioluminescent moss somewhere past the sub-basements.
Marcus told me the strangest part of it was how seamlessly the truly deep stuff connected right back to the surface. You can get there from underneath Grand Central; you can get there from a thousand subway tributaries. You can get there from the basements of massive old buildings or by paying attention when you stumble through storm drains. You see, when they build underground they don’t bother knocking things down. They just interconnect, they just keep weaving.
It’s all vaulted ceilings, up to a point. Arched tunnel systems, keystones holding the roof up. Like I said, the stonework is Romanesque, up to a point.
After that? Tom said it got rough-hewn. His words. They were just tubes in the rock – They’d hit basalt or something firmer by then, I suppose it wasn’t a question of supporting all that dirt anymore.
No, there weren’t any lights. There was a bit of glow here and there – that glowing moss, fungus, whatever it was. But it wasn’t enough to travel by. Tommy had brought a whole bunch of those little LED flashlights, the ones they have at home depot by the check-out.
Yeah, he probably did steal them; that kid’s always been a little off. You remember what he did to those two kids at Missy’s party last year, right?
