A parking lot after work

One night, Sarah had to park her car a little further away from her office building. Every now and then, she had to accommodate for maintenance works and inaccessible exits that her work place often underwent, considering the entire district was being overhauled by the city council. She was in her usual professional attire, which consisted of a white blouse. grey pin striped jacket, pencil skirt, stockings and classic black pumps. As she liked working without obstruction, her hair was tied up into a bun so that she could easily see what she was doing. Although with a somewhat high paying job, she had to work hard to help bring the family's financial stability up to par. They were, after all, saving up for all sorts of future plans, and despite how hard she had it with her current position, she was always chippy with a wide smile. Her co workers found her pleasant to talk to, and even her boss commented on the sunshine that she brings to the room with her amazing lips. Even if uncomfortable about the borderline sexual harassment case, she had not let it bother her much.

She was walking down the street towards the open air parking lot some alleyways away. Tonight was a relatively regular work day, so the street was extremely busy with people trying to get home, and as sunny as she felt on a regular basis, she still dreaded the traffic jams while on her way back to her husband and beautiful son. Nonetheless, she made the uneventful journey to come face to face with a different scene from what she had experienced during the day. The lot at night was dimly lit. With all the space that it provided, the shadows from all the neatly rowed vehicles started to seem much more threatening the closer she approached. Steeling her nerves, she tapped her way towards her car, cautiously the look out for anything suspicious while fishing for her keys in her purse. Fortunately, she had a taser just for occasions such as these, and thankfully, she had not yet experienced a situation where she had to use it.
