LisA SHOT UP, HER EYES WIDE AS SHE STRUGGLED TO BREATHE,
struggled to get away, but something was holding her down. She tried to

She choked back a scream.
That was when saw the light on in her bathroom.

“Goddammit!” She was home. Here in her bedroom. She always kept
her light on, so she wouldn’t be scared if she woke up from a nightmare.
“Yeah, like that helped me.”
This one was bad. She went to turn on the lamp on her nightstand. It
wasn’t there. She blinked back tears when she realized that was what the
breaking glass had been; she’d knocked the lamp halfway across the room
as she’d thrashed about. She yanked at the sweat-soaked sheet. The damn
thing was tangled around her like some kind of jungle vine. She kicked
herself free then swung her legs over the side of the bed, almost stepping in
the glass.
Lisa crawled to the end of the bed, stumbled to the wall, and slammed
on the switch so that the overhead light turned on. She whipped her head
around and sighed in relief. The two locks on her bedroom door were
secure.
God, what kind of loser has locks on their bedroom door?
“Shut up!” She heard her voice and realized it sounded weak. When was
the last time she’d eaten? She closed her eyes, then opened them.
I’m pathetic.
The nightmare was probably nothing, but maybe she had heard
something. She’d already called the police two times over the last seven
weeks for no reason whatsoever—she wasn’t calling again. She picked up
the aluminum softball bat beside the doorframe. She slowly unlocked the
door and waited.
And waited.
Her arms started to tremble. Lisa had no idea how long she’d been in
this position, with the bat at the ready. Ten minutes? A half-hour? An hour?
She was afraid to move even a millimeter to glance at the clock on her
nightstand. It wouldn’t matter if she did, since she had no idea when she
first stood watch.
You’re such an idiot, Garcia!
She felt a tear slip through her defenses. The bat, which wasn’t all that
heavy, felt like it was made of lead. Lisa felt her right hand begin to cramp.
When she tried to loosen her grip so that she could relieve the pressure, she
couldn’t get it to move.
She tried again.
Ahh God.
Now her tense shoulders were starting to tremble. She pushed herself
against the wall, willing her body to move. She had to be able to swing the
bat if someone came in. She had to.
She listened intently. She didn’t hear anything, but that didn’t matter.
