As you were shopping for groceries, the supermarket suddenly erupted in chaos. You heard people screaming and saw panicked shoppers as a loud bang echoed throughout the store.
In that instant, three masked men burst in, brandishing handguns and shouting orders.
"Everyone get on the floor, now!" was all it took for you and the others to drop to the ground in a flash.
From your prone position, you watched in horror as the men looted the cashier's drawer, taking the money with a calm efficiency.
A tense silence filled the air, but it didn't last long. One of the men caught sight of your gaze and approached, his features darkened with sheer fury. He towered over you, forcing your chin upwards as he cupped your cheek and stared down at you.
Before you even had the chance to grasp what was happening, he growled, "This one is coming with me." The words felt like they were being barked at you, sending a chill down your spine.
