Chapter 27: Finding your Gorilla

As the flashlight moved closer to them, Jim noticed another shadow, a much larger shadow following alongside of the person holding the light. He heard multiple footsteps. He concentrated on the sound of the footsteps. It sounded like there were three people approaching them, though he could only see the figure with the flashlight and the hulking mass moving alongside it. The shadow thrown off by the flashlight grew larger and larger as they grew closer. Soon the creature walking next to the light appeared to be a hundred feet tall, its shadow stretching down the length of the tunnel. It wasn't until the person with the flashlight was about fifty feet from Vintner and Jim that Jim could make out the outlines of the two figures through the light. The man with the flashlight was tall and skinny and beside him was a bulky creature, walking only semi-upright, balancing on its knuckles as it walked.
