The barn ropes

Jesse could not believe
he just told the rustlers
to tie him up.  But it
was better than being shot.  He turned around
and put his arms behind his back.  He wished he still had his shirt, for that rope looked like it would hurt.


Starting at his shoulders they weaved the ropes between his arms, pulling hard each time, forcing the arms to move closer and closer, deep into his muscle.  Jesse broke out into a cold sweat.  He could feel the hairs on his forearms matted with sweat and they were now bound together.  Circling his torso with rope, the tightened his arms and wrists into his back, squashing his pecs and gut.

Then the blindfolded him, and dumped him on the floor, as they went after the others.

It took two of the rustlers to rope up Antonio.  His muscular arms would not yield to the ropes, so they 
played a type of tug-of-war as they tied him  Finally, his arms slipped, his forearms touched.  Antonio was screaming as they ripped his shirt and shoved it into his mouth, and tied rope between his teeth, gagging his screams.  Roping his torso and blindfolding him, they dumped him next to Jesse.

The hoisted Billy and the others up by their bound ankles, hanging them from
the barn beams.  They made sure the three men were tightly gagged, the ropes as tight as they could be.  A few gut punches for fun
left them swinging in the air.




Bolting and locking the barn door....

...the ransacked the house and left the men desperately trying to free themselves from the barn ropes.
