Chapter 17 - THE LABYRINTH OF BOXES
I crept through the dark warehouse,
trying to make no sound at all,
the floor was covered in dust,
which showed my fresh footprints clearly,
I heard his boots step inside,
crunching on the broken window glass,
I know you are in here Emily,
he whispered in a creepy voice,
it echoed through the large space,
making him sound like a ghost,
you always were a bad sister,
betraying your own blood for nothing,
I hid behind a stack of pallets,
holding my breath until it hurt,
my head was throbbing with intensity,
the fear was making me dizzy again,
I saw his shadow moving slowly,
past the row of wooden crates,
he had a heavy iron pipe in hand,
he was scraping it along the floor,
creating a horrific metallic screeching,
that made my skin crawl with terror,
he was hunting me like an animal,
and there was no escape route left,
the front door was locked tight,
the back window was where he stood,
I was trapped in the labyrinth,
waiting for the final blow to come,
I looked around for a weapon,
finding a heavy glass bottle nearby,
I gripped it by the smooth neck,
preparing to fight for my life,
if he discovered my hiding spot,
the footsteps came closer and closer,
stopping just on the other side,
of the wooden pallet wall today,
I could hear his heavy breathing,
May you like
smelling the sour scent of alcohol,
he was right there next to me.
