Sub..Subter..alien?


Well, here is my Subterranean for this week. Now i looked up what it meant hoping for something other than 'underground'...but alas, all i could find in my quick half-assed check, was underground.

Well i really wanted to do something different then what i assumed everyone was going to be doing (caves, dirt, underground, watery stuff..etc)

So the first non-dirt underground i could think of was the Underground Railroad. So that is what mine is based off. For those who dont know what this was; ill give you a quick little info session.

The underground railroad was used way back in the day by people who where slaves who tried to escape to Canada and certain parts of the US for their freedom. There was no actual train or real train tracks or anything; but was terms used to talk in secret about it (ie: people who where guides where called conductors)

Anyhoo... hope you all like it :)
