I was in a daze My heart pounded so loudly, nothing else sounded clear

I was jerked froh a set of double doors

Fluorescent lights flickered overhead as alked through a hallway lined with tan doors There was nothing discerning about the inside I still had no idea where I was There were no signs No s Not even a lit exit box

Finally, we stopped and a door opened

I stu one wall, aI knew someone was on the other side I looked up and noticed the shts blinked under the lenses They were on

I twisted my hands, only to be pinched by the cuffs

I didn’t kno much time passed before the door opened I spun on my heels

A tall man walked toward me He extended the key for the handcuffs

“Would you like me to take care of those?”

I nodded

He flicked the lever and freed ed the skin where the metal had scraped
