TRANSCRIPT

Mara doesn’t own a cloak. Yet there’s one hanging on her coat rack. And she sure as hell wouldn’t trek dirt into her house. Yet, large muddy footprints lead to her kitchen. Someone’s in her house and Mara is not pleased.

She grabs the cloak off the rack and takes a deep breath. She could smell him. Sweating from fear. Trembling.

“By now you realize your mistake and you’re wondering how to escape. Back door locked from the inside. Bars on the windows. But don’t worry, pet,” she says, putting on her intruder’s cloak, “This will all be over soon.”
