My stepfather invited my mother and me into a private pool… But when I arrived, he was the only one who was there — my mother was missing… and he had already locked the kara key door

I stopped several yards from him.

Where is my mother?

He didn’t answer.

He just looked over my shoulder toward the entrance.

My heart started beating hard.

“Where is it?” I asked again.

He was still unanswered.

Then I heard a metallic sound behind me.

Click.

I turned around.

The door was locked.

I grabbed the handle and pulled it.

It didn’t open.

When I looked at my stepfather again, I was still by the pool.

Watching me.

And this time I was smiling.

COMPLETE STORY IN THE FIRST COMMENT

The door closed with a click behind me.

I turned and grabbed the metal handle.

It didn’t move.

For a terrible second, my mind went completely blank.

Then I looked at my stepfather again.

I was still standing by the pool.

Alone.

Where is my mother?

He seemed more tired than angry, but that didn’t make me feel better.
