72. Kiss Me, Please

Audre forced herself to calm down, then tried to open the door and screamed for help a few more times, but there was no point. No one could hear her unless they passed by the shed. No one knew where she was. She reached for her phone but realized it wasn't in her pocket. Of all times, this was the time she forgot to bring her phone?

Kim knows where she was going, Audre thought. Maybe she will realize something was wrong and look for her.

But no one came to her rescue. She had lost track of time. It felt like she had been in there for hours.

After a while, she started to panic again. The shed didn't have any window, so she had no idea whether it was dark outside. There was a small lightbulb hanging from the ceiling that was barely bright enough to light the room. It was quiet, and it was scary.

Audre crouched down in a corner. She broke into a cold sweat and started to shiver. Was this a punishment for something she did? But she had done nothing wrong!
