Shh...
No noise but his footsteps should be sounded
Or I fear he will find me
Breathe...
Keep quiet
Your short, raspy breaths are surely loud
Slow! He's going to hear me!!
Why can't I breathe slower?? Quieter??
My heart beats so hard, I fear it's betrayed me.
Do you want him to kill me??
Footsteps....all I hear is footsteps.
Why has time stopped for him??
Even airflow has stopped for him.
I may die before he finds me.
Surely it will be better that way.
Air!! I need you.
Stay with me until he is gone.
Maybe I can escape.
There are no windows!
His footsteps haunt me.
They are everywhere.
He taunts me to shout!!
Scream!! I feel I must scream for my sanity!
Wait...
No footsteps.
Maybe he is gone.
Should I check?? I don't know??
Maybe....
Maybe I will live.
FOOTSTEPS!!
Right by the door!
I can see his wet, mud-clad boots.
Wait....is that blood?
A shot, loud...deafening me.
He made a hole in the door!
A hole
in
Me.
