Plot
Prologue
Ruby struggles to break free of a chamber. She gets her bearings, running a finger along the surfaces. In the darkness, she feels for something to turn on light. Thinking it might be voice operated shouts to the same effect. She hears a hiss, as if the air was being let out, or if something was being let in. Allowing herself a moment of panic, she banged on the door.
