\nI can’t believe I fell for it.<\/b><\/p>\n
It was still dark when I woke up this morning.
\nAs soon as my eyes opened I knew where I was.<\/p>\n
A low-ceilinged rectangular building made entirely of whitewashed concrete.
\nThere are six little rooms along the main corridor.<\/p>\n
There are no windows. No doors. The lift is the only way in or out.
\nWhat’s he going to do to me?
\nWhat am I going to do?<\/p>\n
If I’m right, the lift will come down in five minutes.
\nIt did. Only this time it wasn’t empty . . .<\/p>\n
