6.

“Did you hear that?” Georgina gasped, whilst being dragged along by Jim.

Her sides burned and twisted in pain, and her heart slammed against her ribcage. Besides, despite her abject terror, she worked behind a desk at the job centre and the nearest she got to exercise was an occasional cream-cake run.

“Hear what?” Jim said. “Come on, we have to keep moving, we have to get out of here.”

Whatever she had heard had stopped now.

But by God if it didn’t sound like screaming.

Must have been a seagull.

At night? I don’t think so.

It was Tracy and you know it.

“Please,” she panted, almost falling flat on her face when she dug in her heels like a stubborn mule.

Jim quit tugging on her hand and clumsily skidded to a halt next to her.

“We’ve been running for ages but we still can’t find the door we came in through,” she panted.

“Fuck it, she’s right.” Nigel said, he too stopping and hunching over his knees. “Besides, we passed that ride just a minute ago.”

“What? But that’s impossible,” Jim said.

“No shit, Sherlock,” Nigel replied.

Georgina said nothing and just stood there, stupidly staring at the swinging boat ride. Nigel was right. They had passed that thing a few minutes ago. They were running round in circles like headless chickens.

“We just have to get to the perimeter. Even if we don’t find the same door we came in through, there’ll be others. Or we’ll just climb over the fucking wall.” Jim said.

“We can’t find the perimeter because she won’t let us. We’re trapped,” Nigel said.

“That’s bollocks,” Jim began, “what, you think he really is the devil, or something…”

“Sshh,” Georgina said, putting her finger to her lips, “do you guys hear that?”

“Hear what?”

Jim stopped talking and froze on the spot when he too heard the screaming. The sound might have been faint, but it was definitely no shitehawk.

“Shit,” Nigel cursed. “What the hell is that?”

“I think the question is, who is that,” Georgina said softly.

“Oh God, this is seriously fucked up. “We need to get of here, like now,” Jim said to the both of them.

“I second that. Only problem is, I’m guessing that the more we run, the more we’ll wind up in her clutches. The only way to get away from her is to use our heads.”

“Her? Why do you keep calling him a she?”

“Because it was a woman. Why the fuck else would I call her a she?”

“A woman called Eric?”

“Why not? It could be a unisex name.”

Jim snorted. “Are you fucking blind? How could you mistake that little bloke for a girl?”

“Little?” Georgina asked.

Both guys turned to look at her, and then it twigged. It made no sense, and yet it was the only possible answer.

“He was tall. Really tall and skeletal thin. He was wearing a tatty jumper and jeans,” she said, feeling sick and scared.

“You’re right,” Jim said, realisation dawning in his eyes. “We’re seeing different things. He was wearing a long leather jacket. And a beat up fedora hat.”

“I saw a woman. Not just any old woman, but some really fat bitch that used to, you know, touch me when I was a kid.
