“Think Angela! That disgusting man will be back soon.”
She scanned the room. There was a filthy cot and there…on the wall, a metal framed photo. Metal!
Angela broke off part of frame and furiously chipped away pieces of the window frame.
Footsteps!
They were getting louder. Her heart was racing as she worked faster, fingers bleeding, when the door behind her crashed open.
“Are you okay ma’am?”
Angela turned in terror and collapsed into the arms of the detective.

Dear Kat,
We seemed to have gone in similar directions this week. I think your ending might have been a little happier and certainly saner. Nice one.
Shalom,
Rochelle

It was a happy ending…the girl got saved! But yes…I know, I know…what of the creep who locked her in there…etc…etc…There’s always a “rest of the story” even after the “the ends”. 🙂
