I followed closely behind their steps and we were heading towards the balcony on the top floor when she vanished. I immediately turned back and into the bathroom of another bedroom on the same floor. I was able to communicate in morse code by flickering the lights in the bathroom. When I came out, my sister-in-law informed me that our family was going to watch a movie together downstairs.

I had just woken up and my parents were in my dorm. “Do you always sleep here?” my father asked. It struck me as a rather absurd question because there was no question about it. He looked rather concerned when I admitted that I don’t always fall asleep laying on my bed and that I sometimes just pass out in my room.

I remember walking through the suspended glass hallway just moments before I heard the gunshots go off in the office. Someone had just shot and killed three of their coworkers before being escorted from the room by the security guards with little to no resistance. Apparently this man simply told a group of employees to huddle together and lay their hands on top of one another before pulling out his gun to execute them. It took a three clean shots that no one ever expected. He smiled smugly and seemed rather content with himself as he passed by us.

My brother frantically called the police, informing them of our location and asked where he could find bandages. We received an unhelpful response before they hung up. I pointed out that there was what seemed to be bandages on the shelves on the other side of the window.

I fell into a fit of hysteria as I saw what seemed to be a baby on the kitchen counter opening and closing their mouth in accordance to an extremely faint tune being played by a violin. I struggled to figure out if the noises were actually coming from the baby or if there was another faraway external source.
