WHAT HAVE I DONE

CARLA

I think tonight, I need to pamper myself with a lot of movies. I made the popcorn and placed it on the table. I head to the bedroom to grab a blanket.

The blanket was close to the window, but then I heard a sound, that's not a sound of cats or dogs. I look through the window. I noticed two men dressed in all black were outside the outside, holding knife.

I rushed out of the room but gently so I won't alert them. I grab my phone and purse, there was a safe attic close to the main entrance. I rushed over to it and open it.

I slowly crawled my way into it before shutting the door. I heard the front door open, I close my eyes, trying to be calm. I noticed the way they walked on top on the entrance to this attic. Just give them fifteen more steps.

One. Two. Three.

I kept listening to their footsteps in order to know when I'll get out and run through the front door.

Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen. I took a deep breath before swiftly opening the attic and dart out of the attic
