The Unlucky Blossom
Three times, now, she’d almost died, and no one had noticed. Three times now she had lost all hope of surviving, yet she always survived. Her siblings and parents passed away in a fire years ago, her “friends” talk about her behind her back, and her only relatives despise her because she was the only survivor during the fire. They thought she was outside, but she wasn’t. She was in the house with them all, but she was in a less dangerous area. By the time she made it to her family, it was too late.

So she ran back to the bathroom. When she arrived, she saw a figure in black approaching her, one who had a gun. She quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door. She looked for someplace to hide, but there seemed to be none.
Until she saw a vent inside of the wall above one of the toilets. She looked back and forth between the vent and the door. The man was banging on the door. She went into the stall and then climbed on the toilet and opened the vent gate. She quietly climbed in and then reclosed the vent. At that moment, the door slammed open. “Come out come out wherever you are!” The armed psycho taunted. He kicked open each door at a time. When the guy didn’t find anything, he left.
