Theme: Underground

Last Girls Club Winter Issue Theme is Underground. Whether you’re hiding underground or what’s underground is coming for you or both; scare the bejeezus out of us over it. Has humanity moved underground to survive nuclear winter or have the poor retreated to abandoned tunnels unable to afford housing topside anymore. Is there a revolution brewing to destroy the topsiders and emerge to claim the new unoccupied land? Or are the topsiders dropping poison smoke bombs down to kill the sub strata humans they consider to be vermin? You tell me.
