"911 what's your emergency?"
Her small hands gripped the flippy phone tightly. From the small slat of the trapdoor, she peeked and saw the scary silhouette of shelves being illuminated only by the light seeping under the closed door.
"P-please help us..." She quietly said to the lady on the flippy phone.
She was shaking and she feels like the milk and chocolate chip cookies she just ate wants to crawl up from her tummy to her mouth. She can hear their voices from behind that closed door.
"Hello? Can you say that again please?" the lady on the flippy phone said.
The voices grew louder. Then she heard her mom scream no. It was really loud, it pierced her tiny ears. Then it was followed by a thud that startled her. She remained peeking under the trapdoor.
"T-they're hurting m-mom,"
She tried to raise her squeaky little voice so the lady on the flippy phone can hear her. But she was terrified the bad guys would hear her too.
Her mom said to stay quiet after all.
A sudden burst of light washed in the room that made her cower down. Her heart was hammering in her ribcage and she feels like throwing up. The trapdoor clicked shut but it wasn't locked above her head and she sat on that wooden stair, shaking.
She whispered to the flippy phone again.
"P-please lady help us... They're hurting my mom,"
A shrill scream broke out followed by deafening noises that made her simultaneously jump from where she sat and hit her head on the trapdoor. It opened and something got caught in between, causing it to not completely close again.
The top of her head hurt so bad.
She hunched and whimpered in fear.
She did not dare to take a peek again.
Curled down on the wooden stair, counting down how many deafening noises were there before it was silent again. It was five.
Five terrifying and deafening noises then it was quiet.
Eerily quiet.
She waited a while in the silence.
Then, she turned her head and saw what got stuck in the trapdoor.
It was fingers.
Her mom's delicate fingers. Her wedding band shining in the light.
She pushed up out of the trapdoor and her whole head slowly emerged. Then, her small body shook harder than before as though she was struck by lightning, the flippy phone sliding out of her small hand. Her big round eyes widened at the sight.
Then,
She puked on herself...
She puked all the milk, all the chocolate chip cookies. Her throat hurts and she can inhale the stink. It stinks really bad. She puked again some more.
She was throwing up thick red goo that stinks so bad. The same thick red goo that was pooling out from where her mom was lying facedown.
And she can't stop.
She can't stop puking even as the heavy footsteps came around...
