A stranger in the dark
#WritcoStoryPrompt47
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Revival by Stephen King:

He unlocked a door and led me through an office that was empty of furniture, although I could still see square clean patches on the grimy linoleum, where the legs of a desk had once stood. On the wall was a curling calendar with April 1989 showing. He touched my hand and pulled me close with a firm kiss on my lips, my legs felt numb. I couldn't move nor flinch, never felt this way before. My heart kept racing and felt a tickling sensation taking over my body. Suddenly there was a bang, something fell to the ground, oh what a sigh of relief saved by the bell. Freed myself from his grip and made my way towards the staircase. Run as fast as my feet could carry me and didn't stop to glance back. Ended up on the streets, just in time to stop a taxicab and headed home. Kept thinking over and over again how dumb I was to have followed him so blindly into that office. What was I thinking said to myself, maybe I wasn't thinking at all. Couldn't shake that feeling and sensation off, never ever have I felt this way before.
