SIX

I have no idea where I am.

Is it really time for the news bulletin? It feels like I’ve only just gone to bed. It can’t already be morning, can it? Vedhika must have set Simon up to prank me by setting the alarm for midnight. But I’m not falling for it. I know what those two are like.

I get up to go to the loo and, scratching my head and shivering in my thin dressing gown, I drag myself to the door of the room.

Bang!

I hit my head hard and fly back in shock. What the fuck!? What have I banged my head on? There should be a door here, not furniture.

I stretch my hands out tentatively and move forward until my fingers reach the thing I banged my head on. It’s a wardrobe. Why is my wardrobe in front of the door? What’s going on? Has somebody been in my room messing things up? And how did they manage to move the wardrobe? It weighs a ton. There would have been a hell of a lot of noise. I would have heard…

Wait a minute…

Where was I last night? I must have been in a bar, having cocktails and talking to strangers. They must have put drugs in my drink!

This is not my room at all. I’ve been abducted!

I rack my brain for clues but nothing comes out. I don’t remember going for a drink. I would have remembered that – it would have been before I was fed drugs.

All I remember is going straight to bed and falling asleep.

God, I really need to pee…

I’m jumping about the room, struggling to think.

OK, let’s be logical here. There is nobody in the room, so whoever has moved the wardrobe couldn’t have gone out. So… um… yeah, nothing comes to mind.

How about…? No, a rope wouldn’t work… the wardrobe is too heavy and bulky.

I should really see this outside the box. I’m sure if I broaden my mind it will all become clear… if only I didn’t have to pee so bad.

There’s been an earthquake! That’s it. And I’ve totally blanked it out, ’cos I was so tired. Maybe that’s what has woken me up – all the racket of furniture moving about. Would there still be phone signal and electricity?

Hang on, I need to put the light on and check it out but… the light switch is next to the door, which is currently located behind the wardrobe. Damn!

My reading light! I crawl back to the bed and try to locate it but the earthquake has messed that up as well. I search beside the bed, desperately. My fingers are shaking. My bladder is about to burst.

There it is!

Oh, crap…

The second I press the light switch it all comes back to me.

I don’t live in Chichester anymore. I don’t work for Parallel and Simon is not my boyfriend. I live in London, with three girls and I’m no longer a news presenter. I’m… working on a new project.

The reason the wardrobe is in front of the door is because the door is not where I think it is.
