Day 2,071

The tunnel connecting Bury St Gapshaw and Newton Munforest has been closed for over fifty years. The tunnel doesn't seem to recognise this and manages to lure at least one driver a month who is will only ever be seen standing inside the barely-lit entrance, beckoning other drivers with frantic, desperate gestures in the hope that they can switch places with the next unfortunate soul.

It is unknown as to whether or not this works but all the people presently trapped within the tunnel swear it will work someday and they'll all go free. They can only be spoken to from the safe distance of eight metres away from the entrance and only in daylight. The tunnel uses the cover of night to expand itself and engulf unsuspecting drivers who think it's further away than it really is.

Whatever the tunnel may really be, it doesn't seem to be able to eat people. At least not in the conventional sense. It has a digestive tract and is perfectly capable of ripping a human to shreds with the flytrap-like appendages that disguise themselves as ceiling lights swaying in an imaginary breeze.

All the two towns say when questioned is that the tunnel is closed and will remain so.

The tunnel will continue to have other ideas.

Drive safely.
