Concrete Tunnel

Olivia's patience was wearing thin. She was about ready to give up and go through the window when she saw a large concrete slab fall to the ground followed by Norm. Norm coughed as he emerged from the tunnel. "Are you alright?" Olivia asks. "Yeah. Just catching my breath. What do you think?" "Well, is it wide enough?" "Wide enough?" Norm repeats. "For me." Olivia says. "Oh yeah. It's much bigger than it looks." "Are you sure?" "Positive. Come on." Without waiting for a response, Norm dashed through the tunnel. Olivia takes a deep breath and squeezes in. The tunnel was half a mile long, and Olivia ended up bloodying her arms and legs, but in the end she was happy to see the light of day. Even if that light shined on an ever further decayed city. Olivia whistled at the destruction. "I know. It's a nightmare, isn't it?" Norm says. "It isn't great."
