Assault Ramp

Scouting the dark cavern was step one. A mutant army cannot enter an elevated breach without a stable ramp. I hunted along the gravel line until I clamped my jaws around a thick, weathered tongue depressor half-buried in the soil. Hauling it straight to the splintered foundation, I jammed one end under the broken cedar siding and rammed the lower end deep into the lawn dirt with my snout. It created a steep wooden ramp leading straight into the dark gap beneath the floorboards. I stomped my right foot onto the planks with full mutant weight to test load capacity. It did not snap. The path into the enemy fortress is paved.
