Pointed Out Without Warning
Just as she took another sip of her tea, Melissa heard Mr. Harris’s voice cut through the quiet hum of the shop. “Thank you so much for coming right away… That’s her, right there!” he said, pointing directly at her. Melissa looked up, confused, trying to process what was going on. It took her a second to realize that he was speaking to the man in uniform who had just entered.
Her eyes widened when she finally noticed the man was wearing a police officer’s uniform. For a few moments, her mind refused to connect the dots. Why was Mr. Harris pointing at her? Why was there an officer in the shop? Her confusion quickly began turning into panic as she felt the entire room shift around her, reality warping in a way she hadn’t expected or prepared for.
