Chapter 2.6: Misr House II [02/01/1925]
Tommy found a stick that he could use to prop it open before sliding himself down into the coal chute. Even with his particularly slender build, he had to really force himself through the opening to get inside shimmying down the short metal slide, but eventually when he made it through he found himself subject to a sharp dropoff, indicating that the basement was deeper than he presumed. Landing on top of a pile of coal was small comfort to his backside.
After a few moments, his eyes gradually adjust to the darkness, and he can make out a small source of light, seeming to come from a doorway inlaid into the ceiling of this room on the far side opposite of where he was leading up above, situated just above a small set of stairs that he could make out.
From around the room, he can see various boxes and crates not arrayed in any particular order. From the scant and distant source of light, he can't make much out about anything from a distance.
OOC:
Tommy has a flashlight with him, but it will be temporarily (for several hours at least) ruined on account of him having taken a swim with it and taking no precautions to keep it out of the water. He can attempt to dry it out in the dark to reduce its recovery time, but for the moment it is something of a moot point.
