The sound of the alarms ring through my ears as I make another turn in this labyrinth of halls. I have to tell someone before they catch me.
Oh, who am I kidding no one will ever believe me. Maybe I didn't really see anything; it was all just in my head. I must have been spending too much time with Dr.Jack and his chemicals. Or it could be the pregnancy hormones. But then again, if I didn't see anything then why would they turn the alarms on.
