The walls ushered from the violent storm outside.
I could hear the rain hitting the building...
And I could see the ceiling leaking...
Alone in the dark room, you could find my body violently trembling...
I was freezing.
My bare feet were numb, and I was unable to move a single toe...
The dress I wore, provided no heat.
It was like a cheap sheet - not even a blanket...
Even getting out of there wasn't on my list anymore...
... all my thoughts could do, is race around the fact that I had to find warmth...
Could it be possible for me to persuade him to at least give me an actual blanket, cozy and warm?
Probably not.
But attempt to trick him, did sound like a plan...
I couldn't deny that this man wasn't stupid.
He is clever, meaning my plan had to be careful...
But I need warmth.
Suddenly, the floors rhythmically crackled...
My heart beat began to accelerate...
There were footsteps coming up the stairs.
The rhythmic sound just as quickly stopped...
My body sat tense, listening to every sound outside that forbidden door...
And I could only hear a door opening somewhere in the other room.
And then nearing, thunder-like footsteps...
Prepare yourself.
The doorknob twisted...
He'll now kill you...
... if not, he must have a reason to come here...
... a serious reason.
He hadn't entered this isolating room ever since our last encounter - which, may I add, was two days ago.
Awfully so, I needed to go to the restroom... but the devil himself hadn't been around.
Heck would he even let me?
I was definitely sure I wouldn't do it on the floor...
... that would be embarrassing.
... but a good excuse.
My eyes widened in epiphany.
