The woman worked quickly and methodically unpacking the boxes and putting their contents on the store shelf. A last minute illness forced her to accept a double shift (the stocking/closing shift) at the store. The front of the store had already been cleaned and the lighting reduced to the overnight settings.
After breaking down the last carton, she gather the stack of flattened cardboard boxes and made her way through the dim aisles towards the stockroom/receiving area where she could put them into the recycling bin.
Taking one last look at the store closing checklist, she donned her coat and heading towards the service exit to turn off the working lights, set the alarm, and start her weekend.
She opened the door and stepped into the dark employee parking area behind the row of stores. Turning, she reached back inside to push the "ARM" button on the alarm panel.
("The Middle")
...Her head throbbed and her body ached with deep muscle pain. Sharp needle-like pains stabbed her eyes and intense throbbing pain cramped her abdomen. Then her stomach growled and she realized she had never been so hungry in her life. With that, her thoughts faded into darkness as she lost consciousness.

This scenario is very open. I set the beginning and end(?) and leave "The Middle" for you.
But that's the fun part, right?
So, what exactly happened in "The Middle?"
Who and how many?
Was she abducted?
Used and abused in place?
Used and filmed for illegal porn?
Was it revenge/payback?
Why is she hungry? Was it something random like skipping meals that day or was she waking after an extended missing period of consciousness? Perhaps she was kept unconscious the whole time.
