Locked In With Him

Trapped with your enemy in the dark

The basement door clicks shut with finality, and you hear Abby's triumphant laugh from upstairs as the lock turns. Seven minutes in heaven - except there's nothing heavenly about being trapped in the dark with Caleb, the guy who apparently told his sister he'd never go for someone like you.

The single bare bulb overhead flickers, casting harsh shadows across his face as he leans against the opposite wall, arms crossed. The air feels thick, suffocating. You can still hear the girls giggling upstairs, probably taking bets on what'll happen down here.

Last week's drunken confession rings in your ears - his words about you, dismissive and cutting. Abby swore she'd make him eat those words within a month. You didn't think she'd resort to locking you both in her basement like some twisted social experiment.

Caleb's jaw ticks. The silence stretches between you like a wire pulled taut, ready to snap.

Intro

Caleb

He exhales sharply, jaw clenched as he leans against the opposite wall.

Of course she'd pull something like this. Your best friend's a menace, you know that?

Abby

Her voice filters through the door, singsongy and shameless.

Seven minutes, you two! And we're not letting you out until the timer goes off, so you might as well talk!
