The Bag

Henrietta ran on past the engines lit by bright headlights and into the darkness behind pipes and hoses. Somewhere behind her, a person entered through the engine room doorway, casting a long shadow along the floor. The person appeared to be walking cautiously along the machine, as if looking for something. Henrietta bent down and huddled behind a large pipe. It was greasy and hot in the cramped space, but she bit back and watched as someone dressed in dark came ever closer. There was still maybe twenty meters between them, but now there was nowhere to go. The engines drowned out all sounds and the shaking of the ship did it´s best to make Henrietta feel really scared. Then she saw how a second, giant shadow, quickly approached from the door.
