21 Shades of Love
It all started when Emma Tyler woke up in a place where she does not know and the place looked very abandon and eerie. It also reeked of a terrible smell with a hint of sounds from many sorts of insects. Emma also found that she had been handcuffed to a metal pole in the centre of that eerie room, she tries her very best to unlock it but all her escape plan went down the drain. She cried for help, but no one heard it because the place was empty, and it was infested by rats and there were spider webs all over the place. It was clear that no one would ever come to such place and it was probably not even anywhere near her neighbourhood or the town. The only thing Emma was able to do is pray to God and hope for the best.
