You hide under the stairs
You hear the footsteps and moaning noises coming closer and you know
that you will be able to see whatever it was that was following
you.
You know that the creature would see your handprints in the dust on
the linen closet door so you move as quickly as Barbara's ankle will
allow, and you duck under the stairs. It takes a little bit of
wiggling, but you finaly get far enough in the shadows so the thing
following you won't see you if it passes by this way.
