Wet rawhide rope

Jesse stripped to the waist.  He watched them put the rawhide in a bucket and them, with his best friend Joshua on his belly, bind his arms.  

Then it was his turn.  He got onto the splintery wooden floor and put his arms behind his back.  All three now worked to rope him.  Wrists elbows and forearms were lashed together.  Binding his upper arms at his triceps, they were puled a scant 3 inches apart.

Made to stand, he was pushed into Joshua's chest.

They roped their torso's together, and kicked them onto the floor.  There they were gagged with tape as their knees and ankles were tied together.

They poured the bucket of cold water onto their torsos, making sure the rawhide was soaked.

Then they left them.

The two men struggled frantically to try to escape their ropes but it was impossible.  They lay there and sweat, looking into each other's terrified eyes wondering how long it would take for the rope to dry.

Hours passed.

Joshua felt it first.  On his upper arms.  They were being pulled closer together!  He could fee the stress in his shoulders.  Jesse felt it first on his forearms... It was digging into his muscle.  Finally they both realized there bodies were being crushed together.

When the ropes finally dried, there were in agony. They could feel each other's hearts racing in their chests.

Then the gagged screams started, bringing back their kidnappers.

The boss had finally arrived and was wrapping his hands....

Joshua and Jesse were swinging from their feet and they were beaten and videoed.  Then there were again left, hanging,their blood and sweat dripping to the floor.
