The only light source was dim and came through the slight slits in the door that was directly in front of me. I felt something brush up against my back. This made me jump before I realized that they were just coats. This was when I assumed that I was in a closet. I had no idea how I had gotten here.

    The adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I couldn’t stop despite the fact that my lungs felt as if there were icy shards lodged in my chest. Haunted figures of the men that destroyed my life as I knew it flashed before my eyes as I lept over crates and pushed down trash cans behind me, my path marked by a riddled maze of rotted food and old possessions.
