Just as she was about to settle down, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She was startled, a faint color of fear washing over her pretty face. Remembering the horror movie she had just watched a few days ago, goosebumps erupted all over her body.
With her mouth agape, the bread 'plop' fell onto the ground. All motion in her hands ceased, her fingers tightly gripping the folder. The footsteps from behind were getting closer and closer. She held her breath.
Not until the footsteps halted behind her did she make a move. She stared at the shadow on the ground, and it seemed like a hand was about to touch her shoulder. In reaction, she swung the folder in her hand towards the shadow behind her.
The shadow behind her moved slightly, causing her to lash out at empty air. She tried to continue her attack when her hands were held back.
