Mul Apin, Arrows, Statues, and Chessboards- Smokepit Fairytales – Chapter 6 (Audiobook)

Artillery drops, the ground gives way, and Hank’s truck quite literally falls off the map—into a buried stone hall beneath Mesopotamia. Cut off from the platoon and with no radio contact, the Marines find themselves in a vast, ancient complex full of scorpion statues, carved stars, and puzzles that seem to be based on constellations. As the air gets colder and the rooms get stranger, they’re forced to navigate traps, cryptic symbols, and their own fraying nerves in a place that feels less like a bunker and more like something out of myth. War, archaeology horror, and Marine Corps gallows humor collide under the land between the rivers.
