After finally finishing up the last of the inventory count at my quaint little novelty shop, I was beat!
It was super late and I had to be up ridiculously early to help roll out our new promo. I turned off the lights, set the new business security system alarm and stepped out into the dark alley to lock the doors behind me.
A shiver rippled over my bare skinned arms as I twisted my key in the lock and felt a wash of cold air rush past me. I could feel my heart thudding violently in my chest as my anxiety rose sharply.
Leaving late was not my preference; it was always a little creepy rushing to my car in a dark narrow alley shadowed by bushes.
“This is a prime setting for a horror flick,” I silently scolded myself, “I should’ve parked out front there’s no security system set up out here!” Brushing aside the thought, I turned around and cold eyes locked onto mine from the bushes across the alleyway.
