Everything’s Gone!

Anna sighed as she cut off the water, and pushed her hair back behind her head. “I should get home.” She said to herself, reaching her hand through the curtain to grab her towel. She couldn’t quite feel it, just the metallic grate of the bench beneath. Anna tried and tried, growing more aggravated with each passing second. Finally Anna had had enough, and peeked her head through the curtain and around the stall. The sight before her was the last thing she wanted nor expected to see.

“...Where are my clothes...?” Anna thought to herself, surveying the shower area. But for the empty bench, not a single item lay in site. She gulped, wracking her brain for an answer. Anna looked up to the curtain rod, hoping she’d simply thrown them atop. The disappointing sight before her did nothing to dissuade her worries, leaving Anna with a stark realization: She had nothing left. No key, no towel, no sports bra, not even the boy-shorts. All Anna had left consisted of the two black sandals on her feet, a bar of soap, and a small bottle of shampoo. She felt a sudden urge to scream, and crawl into a hole she wouldn’t have to come out of. Her mind returned to the previous weekend, where she had become similarly trapped. “Oh no...” Anna thought to herself, horror gripping her train of thought and turning for the worst possible outcomes.
