I am startled by the sound of footsteps echoing outside my cabin. Everyone had left already, omer had also left maybe thirty minutes ago. He asked me, precisely ordered me to stop my work and go home but my stubborn self didn’t take his order seriously and stayed in. Now I am regretting my choice of staying late.
I forgot that I have a stalker and probably they know my every move and my dumb self didn’t think early that if I stayed alone, the stalker may attack me! Oh my God! why! Why! Why I am this foolish. My foolishness landed me in some psycho’s hands. What do I do now?
Suddenly, I am surrounded by darkness. I hate being in dark and I have fear of darkness. I heard footsteps now clearly. He/she is not searching the office for me, they know where I am and they are going straight to my cabin. Iam thankful for myself for the first time after choosing between staying alone because when omer left the office, I went to his cabin to complete the work because he has a couch in his cabin and I want to work comfortably.
I am currently hiding in omer’s cabin behind the couch. Holding my breath because there is silence everywhere and I don’t want to notify the stalker that I am not in my cabin. I have to leave this office now or not I don’t know what is gonna happen, but how will I leave without getting caught.
I made a plan of escape, if I won’t escape I don’t know I will be able to see tomorrow. I am hearing footsteps now somewhat more than before, which means the stalker is nearing my cabin. I had only one chance to escape and that is when the stalker enters my cabin, I will leave omer’s cabin and take stairs because I don’t want to make any sound and alert the stalker that I am escaping. I know there is a lot of risks in my plan but this is my only chance to get the hell out from here and I am going to use any chance I get to run.
I took my bag and placed my files and mobile in it. If I use my mobile as a flashlight now then I will get caught, once I reach the stairs I will use the flash from my phone. I am sweating pretty badly and shaking with the fear of getting caught. My breathing is coming out in puffs and it’s getting hard to focus without losing consciousness and getting a panic attack.
” I can do it, I can do it, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…” I am repeating these in my head to distract myself and made my breathing normal. I stood up from my crouching position from the couches behind. Carefully without making any noise I stepped around and tip-toed to the door. By the sound of my cabin’s door opening, I know that the stalker is going to go in. I prepared myself to make a run to the stairs.
By the sound of it, it seems that the stalker entered my cabin. The cabin doors had the advantage of closing automatically not getting locked so I can easily run in front of my cabin but the main task is to not make a sound.
I am waiting patiently to open the door and run. The odd thing about this situation is I don’t know what exactly is happening. Is there is a stalker in here now? Or a thief? The person is not making any noises other than their footsteps and I can’t even tell they are he/she by their footsteps.
There is no sound outside and the stalker is in my cabin now. This is my only chance to escape. I slowly turned the door nob not making any noise. There is more darkness outside the cabin. I don’t know how I will get to the stairs, I just have to follow my instincts.
I closed the cabin door slowly and moved forward tiptoeing trying to find the stairs. The elevator’s light is on, I can see through the crack from the elevator door, and thank God the stairs are beside the elevator. I dashed to the elevator like a prisoner getting his freedom. In my haste to get to the stairs, I bumped into something, and it made a loud sound fallen on the ground.
My cabin’s door got opened and I saw a figure comes out of it. I can’t see who they are, is it a she or he. With the dim rays of the moon, I just can figure out the clothes, a hoodie, baseball cap, it difficult to identify the gender of the stalker because the clothes he/ she wearing are very big and the stalker is wearing a cap and there is no light.
I am hiding behind a pillar I think and I hope the stalker can’t see my hiding place. I lost sight of the stalker in the blink of an eye. I swear I am watching the stalker leave my cabin and standing there but now I don’t know where he/she went.
I felt a presence behind me, my heart skipped a beat and started beating hard against my chest. It felt like I am gonna get a heart attack. I hold my breath with my fists right. Tears are streaming down my face and I am shivering due to the fear.
I gathered all my courage and turned around, the stalker is standing some feet away from me. ” w w h hoo a are you a.. a and w what do y y you want” I asked stutter in my words and I got no answer instead the stalker took a step forward and as a reflection, I took a step back.
” I I I am as k king you an again, w who are y you” I tried again to get an answer but now he/ she started making their way towards me without stopping. I turned around and without looking back I started running aimlessly trying to escape.
It is being very hard to breathe while running in the darkness. I don’t know where I am going but I have to escape from the stalker. I can feel the stalker chasing me trying to hold me back. I saw the elevator’s lights and it felt like finally, I can escape Its just a few more seconds then I can yell for help.
The stairs are few meters away from me and the stalker is also behind me. It happened in slow-motion, something hard had hit my head. The pain is unbearable and due to the pain and the hit on the head I can’t see properly, and I stumbled down the stairs and I don’t know that I stumbled or the stalker pushed me but iam stumbling down the stairs. It felt like my every bone is being smashed. After stumbling down the stairs my body stopped at the end of the stairs and my vision is blurry, every inch of my body is aching. I saw the stalker approach me slowly but due to my blurriness, I can’t seem to see the stalker’s face. But I saw a glimpse that confirmed that the stalker is a female, her baseball cap is missing from her head. The last thing I saw before the darkness consumes me is that stalkers face, she is leaning down to check me that iam breathing or not.
