"We will be there in five minutes.
At the same time I read their message, which clearly states that we are not going on a trip today. I didn't let on and got out of the car in silence.
Instead of leaving immediately, he waits for me to get in. Only then did I see him finally drive off.
According to the sign, the next bus wouldn't leave for another 2 hours.
How I hate that!
Now I'm stuck here for at least two hours.
Who says it has to rain all day? We could catch the next train.
I put this suggestion to the group. Surprisingly, they talk their way out of it with absurd reasons. I leave it at that and don't dwell on it.
My eyes fell on a little boy playing happily with his ball.
His mother is on the phone next to him.
He nods obediently.
Smiling, I look at him before heading towards the rolling ball.
The ball continues to roll down the long corridor.
In a few minutes it will bounce off the wall and then roll back in my direction.
I followed the ball at a leisurely pace. Fortunately for me, there were no people in sight, otherwise the ball would have gone somewhere else.
Suddenly, the impossible happens. Just before the goal, the ball turns into an alley.
Apart from some rodents? After all, I am at a railway station.
I push all my worries aside and turn off.
Bingo!
The ball is standing still, literally waiting for me to grab it.
"Let's get you back to your owner," I mutter to myself.
Suddenly I freeze in my tracks, terrified by what I'm seeing.
The ground near the ball is a black hole with a head sticking out of it.
Completely horrified by the slanting face, I lost my footing.
Trembling, I watched as a black-haired woman dressed in Asian clothes crawled out.
She was licking her fingers like an animal.
Then she suddenly looked at me with a grin on her face.
The sight of her made me tremble even more than before.
My mind starts to work again, but it doesn't calm me down for a moment.
Instead, the stench makes my stomach want to throw up.
"Well, pretty lady?" the female figure replies in a rather high voice, so I have to cover my ears.
She picked up the ball, turned it with one finger and looked at me again.
Why can't I take my eyes off her? She is so horrible to look at, I should be able to!
Suddenly she has the urge to feed me.
It's probably just a matter of time before I pass out.
Why does my mind always work so well, but my body never does?
"You miss the rain as much as I do," she whispers almost squeaky.
Suddenly she grabs me by the collar.
That was the end of me!
