In her crazed state, she assumed these murmurs were emanating from the surrounding blackness, which only terrified her further . . .
It had been seven days. Seven days and seven nights, though they were indistinguishable. Seven days and seven nights of madness and fear madness and fear madness and fear madness and fear madness and fear. Though for her it never ended, even when she was freed, for she remained trapped in the prison of her own mind.
