The walk through the hallway was exhausting. Going back to the room Gia had left me would have been an option if I hadn't come this far out. Moreover i was making progress in the trail I was after. The sounds were more edgy, so I gathered courage and proceeded towards the cemented pathways and not so quiet civilization.
As I walk towards an uncertain future, I felt a dark despair beginning to build within. I wasn't what to do about it or ease such pain, given the circumstance I recently came out of.
'Duck!' My instinct screamed at me and I did just as told, missing the Chandler that was thrown at me just by an inch. Or at least, I thought it was thrown at me on purpose.
I looked around after the mild escape but saw no one. I listened carefully, waiting to hear something other than the air shuffling the curtains along the pathway.
