Memorable day
It was a chilly autumn morning when 18-year-old Lena set off for school. She was wearing her favorite jeans and a pink sweater that her grandmother had given her for her birthday. In her backpack, along with her books, were her phone and a wallet with a small amount of money. She was walking calmly, listening to music through her headphones, when suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and yank her toward a nearby forest.
"Don't scream if you want to live," she heard the hoarse voice of a woman who looked much older than her. The woman was wearing dirty, torn clothes and held a knife in her hand. Lena froze in terror.
What… what do you want?" she whispered, her heart pounding like a hammer.
"Clothes. Give me your clothes," the woman ordered, her eyes wild. Lena realized this was the escape prisoner. She had seen her face on the news a few days earlier. The woman was wanted for robbery and had broken out of custody.
"Please… don't hurt me," Lena begged, but the woman wasn’t listening.
"Quick! Take everything off!" she snarled, pressing the knife closer.
With trembling hands, Lena began to take off her sweater, then her jeans. The woman watched her closely, keeping the knife ready. When Lena was down to her underwear, the prisoner ordered her to remove her shoes and socks.
"Now you put these on," the woman said, pointing to her own dirty, smelly clothes. Lena felt nauseous but had no choice. She knew she had to obey if she wanted to get out of this alive.
As Lena pulled on the torn shirt and pants, which were several sizes too big, the woman quickly put on her pink sweater and jeans. She looked grotesque, but she didn’t seem to care.
Phone and wallet. Hand them over," the woman demanded, extending her hand. Lena silently handed over her belongings.
"If you tell anyone you saw me, I’ll find you," the prisoner warned before disappearing into the thick forest.
Lena stood for a moment, shivering from cold and fear. When she regained her composure, she headed toward the nearest house to ask for help. Her thoughts were chaotic, but one thing was certain—this day had changed her life forever.
Meanwhile, the escaped prisoner, now disguised as Lena, headed toward the city. She knew she had to hurry to throw off the pursuit. But deep down, she felt her time was running out. Soon, she would learn that fate can be cruel, and punishment for her actions was closer than she expected.
