Tempest
With every step, my blood became cooler and cooler. If it weren't for the fever, I'd probably have started to shiver. Actually, I might have been shivering still.
And before long, I reached the door of room 402. The familiar door and familiar walls.
Sweat poured, heart raced.
I did not want to be here.
Knock!
One minute went by.
Knock!
Another minute went by.
Something felt off.
So I kept on knocking.
'Is this locked from the outside?'
I used my keys and I was right. It was locked from the outside. I hadn't noticed it before.
I felt stupid but also relieved.
There was no one inside. Not mom, not Elsa, and definitely not Merin.
I sighed in relief. 'So she went back?'
I put the letters in their place, the table. I wanted to put them in the dustbin but, oh well.
