Sarah wiped her tears quickly and stared at the tiny bathroom window. It was too small for a normal escape… or at least that was what anyone else would think.
But fear gives people strength they never knew they had.
Outside the bathroom door, her father-in-law kept banging harder.
“Open this door right now!” he shouted angrily. “You are only making things worse for yourself!”
Sarah ignored him. Her hands trembled as she climbed onto the sink and pushed the window open. Cold night air rushed inside.
The opening was narrow, but maybe… just maybe… she could squeeze through.
Behind her, the banging suddenly stopped.
Silence.
Her heart froze.
