The words tumbled out of me before I could stop them.
“Help!” I screamed, my voice cracking against the empty space.
“Help!”

No one answered.
No footsteps. No voices. Nothing.
Eventually, the silence became unbearable. My body sagged, exhaustion creeping in. My throat was dry, painfully so, and I swallowed hard, but it did nothing to ease the thirst clawing at me.
