The Tunnels

A long time ago a couple of brothers were playing out in the desolate land of their never-ending backyard. They had a dog, she was a mutt, but nevertheless, a great dog, she had been in the family for 12 years. The boys were playing fetch with their dog with a stick they had picked from the one tree still standing within a mile of their shack. The oldest boy threw the stick and the dog ran off to get it, but stopped in mid-gallop. She sniffed the ground like a hound with a lead. She began digging crazily. The brothers ran over and saw that the dog was digging into hollow ground. They knew that if she kept on digging, she'd fall in. The kids tried with all of their might to pull their beloved dog back from the ever-growing hole, but she refused. Seconds later, the ground below the dog collapsed. The dog fell with the massive amount of dirt and rocks and dust. The boys were horrified.
The hole was probably three feet by three, the boys scooted over to the edge on their butts. Leaning over, trying to see if their precious pet was alive. They saw a dirty figure laying in the hole, about 5 yards down. The younger of the two was crying, he knew that she was dead. The boys' mother came running out at the sound of one of her children wailing. She comforted him, asking the other what happened. He explained, and pointed to the hole and the dog. She gathered her kids and ran back inside the tiny wooden shack they called home.
Several decades later, everything repeated itself. But instead of death and sadness, the hole was explored by two teenagers in search of a place to escape from their parents. They jumped down into the darkness, but turned their flashlights on within seconds of hitting the ground. They stared in amazement at the huge room they stood in. There were even more rooms attached to the main. They had found their refuge.
Years went on, the land above the underground city was building up, turning into a city. The teens still lived there. They would leave the Tunnels only too buy food in Land Above. Occasionally recruiting even more people, ranging from many ages.
