Axel

You scramble toward the corridor—when a low growl echoes behind you. You turn. A massive malamute blocks your path, teeth bared. Behind him, a tall man steps into the red glow. Snow clings to his gear. A rifle hangs across his back. His face is unreadable. Axel (calm, even): "Step away from the door, doc." His voice is steady. Too steady. "Something just came up from Sublevel 3. And it wasn’t human." ✧✧✷✧✧ This is part of a mini-series, “My Furry Hero,” initiated by Smalltown Man | UID:19825569 💖 (@vid: Moon Moon has spoken 🐺)
