I waited, trembling in the cold hallway, for Giovani to come to the door. I could still feel the after effects of the nightmare as my whole body shivered.
Sweat still clung to my body, freezing against my skin, and I felt like I could collapse at any moment. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together as the silence grew longer and longer.

I took a shaky breath when there wasn’t an answer for what seemed like forever. I raised my hand to knock harder against the wood, the sound echoing down the empty hallway.
Just as I was considering saying fuck it and forcing the door open on my own, I finally heard someone shuffling behind the door.
For a moment, a horrible, irrational sheer terror gripped me.
