Imagine being trapped in a mall after it closes with no idea how or when you are going to get out.

This became a reality for Emily Keeler, a writer and editor, when she became trapped inside a mall in downtown Toronto.

When she realized it had closed for the night, Keeler took to Twitter to "live-tweet" her ordeal.

It began just before 7 p.m.

I am trapped at @HudsonsBay_Co at Yonge and Bloor and everything is closed, no one is here. Do I head to bedding for the night or?

Keeler tweets out a picture of where she is trapped.

But seriously how do I get out of here? pic.twitter.com/i3xOAnNkop

There was some hope when Keeler saw someone in another office building next to the mall.

Oh a person in the office building adjacent noticed me! Apparently I will soon be free!

A dude shouted thru the glass to say I should try the mythical fifth floor back doors first.

Keeler even contemplated calling the police.

If they can't get a hold of HBC security in 10 or so, I guess I'll have to call the cops on myself?

Security in the office building is calling the manager of this particular store now. They can't find anyone who works in HBC security.

Like, the cops can't literally break me outta here, I guess?

Just after 7:30, a very happy Keeler tweeted this to her followers:

I'm free!!
