The abandoned boats

I was lying under the bed, waiting for the people to leave. I started feeling pain in my shoulder. I just wanted to disappear from here. I was worried about how I would reach him. I am far away from home, lost, and do not know the direction. As I was lying there, thinking about my future, I heard someone coming towards the room where I was hiding.

A minute later, I stopped hearing the footsteps, and then I heard someone running downstairs. There was an eerie silence there. After several minutes, I heard nothing, and I came out under the bed. I gently walked towards the door, peered outside, and saw no one there. The light switched off. The front door was closed.

I then proceed downstairs. As I was reaching the door, the man's voice rang in my ears. “No one here,” the man with a heavy voice said. I did not recognize the voice. But a minute later, a woman started speaking.
