As the sun shines brightly through the windows, waking me up gently into my world of nightmares again, I pull the covers closer to my chest.
Last night... was terrifying.
I didn't know if I was going to die from a heart attack or Alejandro, himself, was going to kill me. He did leave—eventually. After giving a lecture, which was mostly made out of threats, he left—just like that.
I'm pretty sure he left the apartment because once I tried to escape, he wasn't there. Did I try to escape?
Yes, of course, I did.
I tried to click the buttons on the elevator inside the apartment and tried to open the front door but both times, the security system announced, "access denied."
