Chapter 3 by wicker

What's the story?

Smiling and Stumped

Chloe realized she was outside. She looked over and saw a man in an Adirondack chair. He wore jeans, a white shirt, a black blazer, and a mask hid his face. She was freaking out, but she could not drop the dopey smile from her face.

"I was in the shower! How did I get here!" she yelled.

"You seem happy about it," said the man in an obviously altered voice.

"I can't stop smiling! she said. She kept one hand over her crotch and covered her breasts with her other arm. "Why can't I stop giving you this dopey smile!"

"Why don't you spread your legs, stick your chest out, and put your hands behind your head?" asked the man.

To her disbelief, Chloe found herself doing just what the man suggested, and she could not stop smiling. "What's going on?"

"Just be quiet," Said the man. He took out a cell phone and started taking photos. "Turn around and look over your shoulder."

Again, the still-smiling Chloe obeyed and watched him take more photos.

There was a flash, and Chloe found herself standing in her shower. The water was still warm, and she was looking over her shoulder. She could move freely, and she finally stopped smiling. "Did that just happen?" She asked. "Could it have happened?" she thought.
