I never thought my step-sisters would lock me in a tiny, airless storage room after Tyler falsely accused me of making him have an allergic reaction. They even chained the door shut.
I pounded desperately on the door, begging my sisters to let me out.
Maeve, the eldest and a successful businesswoman, coldly berated me before leaving:
"It's bad enough you've been bullying Tyler, but to deliberately give him food he's allergic to? You could have killed him! You need to stay in there and think about what you've done."
Amelia, an up-and-coming singer, and Eloise, a talented artist, chimed in:
"How can you be so cruel? Stop trying to play the victim - you deserve this punishment!"
With that, they left to rush Tyler to the hospital, his body shaking in their arms.
As the oxygen slowly depleted, each breath became more difficult. I died alone in that storage room, suffocating in the dark.
Three days later, when my sisters finally returned home with Tyler and remembered me, I was already long dead.
