Mandy rushes up the flight of stairs. She leans over the railing, short of breath. She sees the glint of the knife spiraling up the stairwell underneath her. She panics and keeps moving. 83

The door to the roof opens. Mandy can’t control her shaking. She closes the door slowly and looks around for something she can block it with. There’s nothing. Mandy runs to the edge of the building to see if there’s a ladder or fire escape she can climb down. Nothing again. She’s so high up and the ground is so far down. She turns back to the door.
