Since when did I start sleeping on cold stone floors? And who the fudge had turned the AC up? My room smelled like a sewer chilled to the inner temperature of an iceberg. Well, the smell wasn't too big of a change.
I opened my eyes and rubbed them thoroughly. Something told me this was going to be a bad day.
I couldn't have been any more right, and it started when I opened my eyes.
"Alright, who moved me to the basement!?" I yelled, looking around at the bare grey walls and cement floor. "Mom? Dad? This isn't funny!"
But wasn't our basement bigger than this? And didn't it have hot water pipes running around? This basement was as empty as the inside of a tomb.
I shuddered at the thought and got up, wobbling unsteadily before finding my feet. There was no door, just an entryway into the hall, but I hesitated before going out. I had played far too many zombie games that ended in disaster when you went around corners rashly.
My hands fell to my side and suddenly struck cold metal. A black police flashlight hung from the loop in my shorts. Next to it, in my pocket and nearly tearing the seams out, was a crowbar.
Well, at least I wasn't weaponless.
I grasped the crowbar tightly, even though I knew I looked ridiculous, and strode forward.
