Why is it so dark here?

Why can't they just provide more lighting? Everyone knows how unsafe parking lots are - there have been enough debates about it. Enough data provided. How many more missing and murder cases until this city decides to make CCTVs in lots mandatory!

The sound of my heels hitting against the cemented floor echoed as I walked towards the car. It was so deserted - I could hear the elevator music as it stopped at the floor above me. I must hurry up.

God! It's so easy for a person like Dev to overpower me from behind. Or just slide into my car. I had caught him staring at me so many times. Not like my manager cared. Apparently that was no reason to ask for a change of cubicles.

As I sat inside, I made sure that everything inside was as it was before I came in. Locked the doors and put my head down. I took deep breaths and tried not to look outside.

The lewd comments at the office parties, all passed off as drunken jokes. The persistent proposals. The snide remarks on women. The hints at how my career can really take off if only...

Worst was when he tried to pull me away towards his car a week ago as I was walking in the same lot! Not that the management believed it, anyways.

There's only so much that I can take.

Suddenly, the door opened. As Dev made himself comfortable behind the wheel, I came out from the shadows and placed the cool stainless steel under his chin.

Maybe it's a good thing that there are no CCTVs here.
