"What did you just say?" He asks with annoyance in his voice. I shake my head and stand up. He grabs my arm and pulls me upstairs. Before we go in he puts a bag over my head.

He leads me up steps and into a room. Voices are heard but then they quickly stop. At first I think he's taking the bag off but then I realise he's strapping something around my neck, making the bag tighter, not tight enough to stop my breathing though.

"Okay, you've all seen the photos, let's start at 1 mill?" I raise my eyebrows. People shout numbers, each higher than the last.

It continues for a few more minutes until the last person shouts, "300." The everyone stops. Mumbling is heard. "Anyone's wish to go higher?" No replies. "Sold!" He shouts a loud bang following after.

I'm once again grabbed and then thrown back into my cellar.

I rip the bag off and stare at the door.

What just happened?
