“You can’t run forever, little mouse!”

Her warning called from behind you for the thousandth time, though you could barely hear it over your heartbeat slamming in your ears. Your eyes stung with tears as you turned another corner, desperately trying to get away-

It was a dead end.

The hallway ended abruptly, and you couldn’t help but wonder if it had been specifically designed for this outcome.

Your shoulders tremble with sobs. Why you? Why did this have to happen to you? What did you do so wrong to deserve this?

“Right in the trap, hm, mouse? Didn’t you learn to look both ways before crossing the street?”

She mocked, her pace slowing as she stalked towards you. Her amber eyes gleamed with a catlike joy.

“I’ve got you right where I want you, precious, now stay still.”
