The naked lady

Part 1: Julius - two

It has gone too far.

Karina must get out of the room.

She puts on her floral nightgown to cover herself.

Her naked body is sweating.

It is vibrant with the night's secrets.

She pulls the gown tighter without looking back once.

Everyone in the hotel sleeps.

Or so it appears once she's out.

The hallway is quiet, and the light dimly shines.

Her heart is beating fast.

Karina looks up and down the hallway.

Which way should she go to get some clarity?

She chooses to turn left.

It will lead her to the reception.

Down to the first floor, Karina knows her way.

But she is not alone; the shadows move behind her back carefully.

Karina feels as though she is now being followed.

She starts to walk faster.

When she looks around, there's no one.

For the second time tonight, Karina is truly scared.

Maybe it is her imagination.

Then she hears the footsteps coming closer.

But again, there is no one behind her back.

'Show yourself!' Karina finally screams.

A man steps out of the corner.

Karina wants to scream, but her body has frozen.

The figure is a monster.

She did not want trouble with anybody.

The man shows a sharp knife in his hand.

Then Karina starts to run.

The man grabs hold of her hair.

Karina pulls back and is free of his hold.

Frantic, she rushes to safety.

She can hear him running behind her.

There is no one at the front reception desk.

The doors are locked, it seems.

Karina cannot escape; where will she go?

She pulls on all of the doors in haste.

Desperate, Karina screams for help.

Her nightgown has also come undone.

Seeing her naked body, her murderer gets new strength.

Finally, Karina can go outside.

She quickly runs to the swimming pool.

Karina feels a great sting go through her body.

Her murderer has stabbed her.

The blood flows down her right arm.

There is only one thing that she can do: Karina jumps into the pool.

She's a good swimmer. So is he.

Within seconds his large body grabs hold of her.

She is now totally naked.

Her murderer pushes her into the water.

Struggling, Karina fights back, but she has no chance.

The water swallows her whole.

All of her splashing comes to nothing.

Karina dies with no air left in her lungs.

He has left no clues.

It is a fresh sense of victory.

The murderer lets go and watch as Karina drifts.
