Panic clawed at my throat, a tight knot of fear. Outside the impenetrable barrier, I heard the faint sounds of madness, a chilling reminder of my isolation.

I strolled over to my trusty automobile, only to encounter that it was chained by the very keys I possessed.

• Was it possible forget to put them back in my pocket after the last use?
• Disappointment began to build as I urgently searched my pockets, backpack, and even the carpet of the vehicle.
