As Tracey turned to leave, she heard the door above creak open. Footsteps echoed down the stairs. She quickly hid behind a stack of boxes, her heart racing.
She held her breath, praying she wouldn’t be found. The unexpected intrusion heightened the danger. Tracey’s fear was palpable as she tried to stay calm and silent.
