Deep underground in one of the newly discovered catacombs in Europe, two young archeologists are sent on their first job. They have started down the stairs and as soon as they reach the bottom are thrown into the past.
"Nothing has changed or been touched here for years," said twenty year old Benjy Jackson.
"I know, I mean I've been on sight at a lot of places before but nothing like this, they've all been above ground," stated Sheryl Hatherly. She was three years older than Benjy but had graduated in the same class. They were both friends and had been for the many years they spent in college and later training. Sheryl was strong and refused to say that she was slightly scared to continue on, but Benjy was just as stubborn. One of the first things they had learned was if something didn't feel right, especially at an underground sight, then they should tell a superior and get out immediately. Of course these two explorers, being young and inexperienced, refused to admit that they were so uncomfortable in this musty place.
As they started walking deeper into the still-preserved catacombs Sheryl whispered, "This reminds me of that story written by Edgar Allen Poe."
"Oh, the Cask of Amontillado?" Benjy questioned, matching Sheryl's hushed tone.
"Yeah, that's the one," Sheryl replied. Neither was quite sure why they were whispering, but it just seemed appropriate in this dark, damp atmosphere.
