“His footsteps start to echo on the concrete floor as he enters the house. She tries to breathe more slowly but can’t and feels the adrenaline rising in her veins. Sallow is on the stairs now. She tries to recall the number of steps in the flight to give her some idea of how near he is, but her mind can’t remember. He reaches the landing and she can hear his boots scraping against the tiny concrete fragments on the floor’s surface.”
