Finally My Turn

Time passed, and I continued doing my daily quest exercises while waiting for John. Eventually, out of nowhere, I heard footsteps of someone approaching here:

STEP-STEP! TAP-TAP!

In an instant, I knew that John was coming.

BA-DUM! HEARTBEAT!

Even though I was fully prepared, I couldn't help but feel a knot of fear tightening in my stomach. My heart was pounding rapidly in my chest, each beat louder than the last, as if my body was betraying my mind's resolve.

After a short while, the cell door in front of me creaked open, and John strolled in like he owned this place—well, he kinda did, seeing as no one was left to oppose him. Bloodstains covered his shirt and pants, adding to his already horrifying presence. His face had this smug, almost playful expression that made me want to punch it.
