Struggled to retrieve her coat.

(chapter originally by faith on writing.com)

Rise took in a long breath. There really wasn't any good solution to her predicament. There was no guarantee that she could find a suitable hiding place before someone on the platform noticed that she was creeping around naked. And if she did find a hiding place....she would STILL BE NAKED! Trapped and far from her house....the thought made her tremble. Retrieving her coat was riskier in that her chances of nudity and humiliation were more severe, but the potential reward was that she wouldn't have to wonder around her hometown completely naked! She definitely liked that outcome the best.

So Rise pulled with all her might on her twice ensnared coat. Unfortunately, as the moments passed it did not seem to relent an inch from the vice grip the doors had on it. Rise was starting to get red from her increasingly **** attempts to dislodge it and her second bought of public nudity if she failed. Then all at once felt a yank in a different direction as the coat was pulled away by the train, practically spinning her around as it stripped her precious modesty away.

"No!" Rise said, shaking her head and staring down at her naked body. "No! No! No!" She screamed, twirling around to face the slowly retreating train. "Give it back!"

In a move that screamed of desperation she ran along the platform, grabbing ahold of her coat by the pocket, placing her feet up against the moving train, and pulling with every ounce of her strength. The fact that her naked body was literally paraded from one part of the platform across to the other, effectively mooning the entire station in dramatic fashion, gave her all the more adrenaline to put into her final effort.

And it did indeed pay off. In a manner of speaking.

RIP!

Rise found herself tumbling backwards, landing with a soft cry of surprise and pain on the platform, the fabric of her coat pocket still clutched in her hands, her phone and other assorted contents stuffed into the pocket now strewn around her. With a forlorn look in her eyes Rise watched the rest of her coat and dignity fly away as the train picked up speed in earnest. Standing up, clutching her phone to her chest, Rise confirmed her worst fears. She was naked in the crowded Inaba terminal, and more or less every was staring at her. She didn't even have the slender bit of safety that her sunglasses provided- they had fallen off sometime during her **** struggles with the coat, and she had no idea where they were now. **** back a scream, all Rise could think to do was offer a little wave to the gawking crowd before covering herself as best she could with her hands and running where the crowd was thinnest.
