Shattered Innocence

My heart pounded in my chest as I ran... I ran through the corridors that seemed to stretch endlessly.

Blinking back tears that blurred my vision, I desperately sought an escape. If only I could get out and get the cops to help us.

My trembling hand opened a large, imposing door, hoping it would lead to safety. But as the door swung open, my legs gave way beneath me and I collapsed to the floor in horror.

Before me lay a nightmarish scene, piles of lifeless bodies stacked one atop the other, limbs and body parts strewn around the room in a macabre display. The overpowering stench was suffocating and I felt a wave of nausea wash over me.

My mind froze, as I couldn't tear my eyes away from the gruesome bloodbath in front of me.

In the next moment, I heard his sinister voice behind me, "caught you," as he amused sending chills down my spine. He effortlessly lifted me in his arms, his hold tight and unyielding. Though I wanted to struggle but my body was still with horror I just witnessed.

He walked down the corridor, ordering someone to close the door that I had unwittingly opened, sealing me in this hellish nightmare.

Hearing the door close, I snapped back to reality, my entire being trembling with terror.

"Don't worry, love, you'll soon get used to it," he said placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. His callous words worsened my trembling... his kiss haunting, a stark reminder of the danger I was in, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

My heart sank as he reached for the very door of the room, I had escaped from a minute ago.
