This story is a work in progress. Just wanted to put it out there for some advice. Katrine's Story Katrine was standing over the stove making dinner for her boyfriend, Martin, in thier apartment. It was almost time for him to be home when there was a knock at the door. Thinking it was Martin she called, "just a moment, darling!" Katrine straightened her dress, smoothed he rhair, and opened the door. Standing outside the apartment was not Martin but a strange man in jeans and a black T-shirt. "Who are you," Katrine asked. "I'm one of Martin's friends," he said, He didn't tell you I was coming?" Katrine thought for a moment. She didn't remember Martin saying anything about one of his friends stopping by, but she did have a rathe rbad memory so decided to let the man into the apartment. She went into the kitchen to finish dinner. Katrine yelled out to the strange man, "Would you like something to drink?" "no thank you," came the reply from right behind her as the man moved into the kitchen. "So, um, I don't believe I caught your name," she said. The strange man said, "oh, I didn't drop it, but it's Tom." Katrine was starting to get nervose but she didn't want to be discourteous to one of tom's friends so she didn't say anything about how uncomfortable she was. she shut off the stoveand asked tom if he was staying for dinner, but she never heard the answerbecause Tom hit her in the head and she crumpled onto the floor like no more than a pile of clothes. *** When she woke up, Katrine's neck was stiff and sore and she felt as though someone had split her head open like a melon. She tried to reach up to feel her head but she couldn't. Upon investigation she found her hands tied to the srms of the chair she was sitting in. With further investigation she found her feet tied up as well. When she looked around, she realized she was in a stuffy, old warehouse type of building. She tried to get her hands loose but the sound of echoing footsteps halted her progress. To be continued...
