Tunnel Scrimmage

They stared down @ the contorted corpse o’ a van, right in front o’ a tunnel.

But as they examined said “tunnel” they discovered that it’d become solid, while still having the appearance o’ an empty hole. Nor was this a mere fake, Wile-E-Coyote style: they were familiar with this tunnel–oft used to get from I-20 to I-12 & knew ’twas real before.

The only clue they had was spray-painted on the ground in front o’ the van: “¡To Herby! ¡Revenge!” only to be interrupted by Orval running them o’er while racing toward his kidnapped 2nd cousin, only to crash into the fake tunnel.

Prompt:

Breakpoint, Road, Tunnel.
