The shelter was set beneath a smallish library. A concrete stairwell beside the building led belowground to the twenty-foot wide vault door.
Pretty big, that. I suppose that’s necessary so they can get a good bandwidth on the stream of people to the shelter.
Fragments of the building and the ledge overhanging the stairwell had fallen, blocked the door from opening fully.
That’s not good. If the shelter is breached, it will be harder to escape from it than it was to get in, even without Levvy’s other shenanigans.
Making matters worse, the door was stuck in a partially ajar position, and the stairwell was flooded with water, which ran steadily into the shelter.
You’d think a door would be better at containing water when it’s ajar…
Two capes were already present, shoulder deep in the water, ducking below to grab stones and rising again to heave them out.
Three out of four gray rocks recommend you lift them out of the water.
