The instructions were clear
#WritcoStoryPrompt13
"The instructions were clear:
Go in, retrieve the package and don't look back."A masked man dressed in all back commanded.
"What's with these people? Why are their faces covered?I just hope whatever we're doing lasts for few minutes, I'm running out of time to pay Anna's hospital bill" I thought to myself."
"That simple?"I asked confidently even though I was confused deep down.
Anna is my beautiful wife and recently she was diagnosed Aneurysm rupture-a sudden burst of a weakened blood vessel, which can cause severe bleeding and internal damage- and she needs a million dollars to undergo a correctional surgery.
"Remember don't look back" he repeated
"What would happen if I look back?" I asked again.
"Are you ready or not" he replied with a grinned look
"I am" I answered quickly while trying to clear my head from all these thoughts.
I was pushed into a room and to my surprise it was an empty room
"Why did he say I should not look back when the room is empty" I thought to myself. I quickly retrieved the package and began to make my way to the door.
"Diiiiiinnnnnngggg!!"I heard as I took two steps forward.
I quickly looked back and found out that it was my ring,the special ring that Anna spent her life savings on just so she could get me something special for my thirtieth birthday, I bent down to reach for it and the craziest thing happened.....
