''I'll be home soon, don't worry'' I said rolling my eyes as my sister continued to ramble in my ear about staying out late.It wasn't my fault that I lost track of time and now it was 10:30 pm, ok maybe it was. ''I told you to be hom-'' I hung up abruptly, already sick of the conversation and tired from a long day of shopping. Strolling through the empty parking lot, I listened to the sound of the my heels clicking against the smooth concrete floor, completely oblivious to my surroundings.
The lights were dimly lit, flickering occasionally creating a eerie atmosphere. A gentle dripping sound repeated in the background as the sound of my heels clicking began to taunt me, reminding me that I was alone. The sudden realization of this my made my heart rate spike, apprehension, fear and anxiety starting to bubbling inside me. My steps became quicker and more determined as I turned around the corner and spotted my car. 'Almost there' I chanted in my head over and over...suddenly I stopped, a silent chill entered my body as I detected a shift in my environment. ''ANYONE THERE'' bellowed, only to have it come back to me in a hushed tone. Admitting defeat I carried on my journey to my bright blue mini.
By now my car was only a few feet away from me, a sigh passed my lips as paranoia began to fade, however the strong metallic smell of blood fill my nostrils, bringing back the feeling of dread which sat in my stomach like a lump of coal. I stared down at my feet only to see dark red sticky blood flowing across the floor from left to right, I didn't have to turn and see where it was coming from to run. I staggered slightly losing my balance at some point but regained my composure enough to carry on running. I was panicking now, frantically trying to find my keys among the masses of shopping bags I had been carrying all this time. Slow steady steps began to echo throughout the parking lot advancing at a careful pace and my heart beat increased once again but I decided to ignore it. The shiny metallic silver key came into view and I grabbed it, my hand shaking violently as I tried to fit the key in the car door...
