The Deal

When Alice came around, her eyes opened to a dark empty room. He had gone. 


Naked, stretched out on the bed, the coarse mattress scratching her skin, she lay very still, listening to the muffled noises around her. She could hear classical music in the corridor outside her room. Her heart started to race. 


She recognized the signs and needed to stop the panic before it threatened to freeze her. She tried to relax, to gather her thoughts and work out what was happening, to figure out how to escape. 


She took a deep breath, trying to still the thumping in her chest. She needed to move. 


She got out of bed and stepped to the door. As she expected, it had been tightly shut. There was no handle, making it impossible to open. She banged on the door, crying for help. 


 “Help… help! Is anyone there? Help me!” She pounded on the door repeatedly until her knuckles bled. No answer.
