My heart is pounding. That's all I hear. My heart. I feel my pulse in every body part I have. My head is getting really dizzy...

I slowly walk... Not aware of much. It's as if... killing this man just killed my conscious. I don't feel guilt. I don't feel bad. I don't feel worry. Not after I took my first step as a murderer. It dissipated as I mechanically obey someone who's also a murderer. My humanity was deadened.

As I walk towards the appliance section with my flashlight in hand—which apparently has more life than ME right now—I hear a siren in the distance.

The sirens are getting closer. Police? Ambulance? I don't know. Maybe the adrenaline in me is numbing my emotions. I don't feel anything. In fact, I’m maybe even a bit bored.

I guess I got lost in thought... Because soon (or maybe it's been a while?) I hear footsteps. CLOSE footsteps. And I see flashlights pointing in my direction.

They want me.

Have they spotted me yet? I desperately look around for some kind of hiding spot, but there IS none. And that's when it hits me!

I run back to the appliance section and open up a dryer with a semi-see-through window. Luckily, I fit right in.

The next few minutes are stretched. The police don't seem to leave. I can't see anything clearly in the darkness but I can still make out some shuffling.

It's dark. I'm tired. What do you expect? As uncomfortable as I am, I fall asleep. 593Please respect copyright.PENANADgkV3KHzE0
