Oh my god! What now?!

The staffer came out with the cart and I jumped at my chance to get in the bathroom before anyone else came along.

I slammed the door behind me and locked it.

I turned to the mirror to retrieve the key and almost died right there. The key was gone!

Who had taken the key and what was I going to do now?

My options were limited. I could only stay in the bathroom for so long before someone else came along.

How would I get into my house without my key? What would I do if someone found me out?

At that moment there came a knock at the door.

I froze. Several terrifying thoughts were fighting for dominance in my mind.

Was it a woman or a man at the door and what was I going to do depending on which it was?
