Part 1 As Kelly takes a step back from the advancing abomination and as Jude dashes toward the door, the flaming teddy bear is wrested from Kelly’s immobile hands and arcs toward the rotting monstrosity that was once his forgotten brother.  The Once-Rune is hit squarely in the chest and tumbles backward to the floor.  The aroma of cooked Rune fills the chamber, quickly overpowering the antiseptic scent of the hospital, but the flesh is far too moist to actually ignite.Kelly and Jude hear the sound of a scuffle behind them and turn to see that their companions have vanished.And then, the floor falls out from under them.  The hospital is sliding downward in a steep decline and bits of the ceiling fall around them.  They can see—through holes torn into the walls—that they are descending deep into the earth, perhaps half a mile or more!Oddly, a wind shrieks through the holes in the walls, even this far underground.  The hallway has been collapsed on either end and the robed people are completely lost in a mass of rubble—as is the Once-Rune.  Jude and Kelly make their way to another room and find nothing but clouds of dust, as well as chunks of stone and tile.  The floor drops a little, producing what is roughly a thirty-degree angle.  The wind screams through the holes in the far wall of this room, as well—at a much higher pitch; the holes are considerably smaller than those in the last room.Jude searches through one of the piles of wreckage and comes across a cold piece of rubber.  Feeling around a bit more, she discovers that it is in the shape of a human hand.  When she gets to the sticky end of it, she realizes that it is not rubber at all; it is a real, severed hand.  She pulls it out of the debris.The congealed blood that she has smeared all over it is stained with her handprints.  She drops the hand in revulsion and tries to wipe the sticky, red-brown syrup on the floor, but succeeds only in collecting a layer of dust.The hand, Kelly notes, is that of a very old person.The floor shifts again, producing an incline of forty-five degrees.And then, the hospital is sliding downward, again.</blockquote>
