Held for Ransom

 

"Look at that rope.  If they tie us up with that, shirtless, it will be torture."

"That's probably why they took our shirts.  If we're tied with that and struggle to escape, we'll shred our skin with rope burn."

 

                           

They hung from their arms bound behind their backs!

Their anguished gagged moans reflected the torture.

Their wrists, elbows and forearms had been roped together.

Ropes around their wrists and elbows circled their abs... lashing their forearms to their spines.

Ropes were woven between their biceps, a strong hook put in the middle, and a strong rope hoisted them up off the floor.  There they hung...

Their eyes were popping wide in terror....

The rags stuffed down their throats, held by ropes tied around their heads, chocked them.

Their shoes and socks were removed.

Ankles crossed and tied with rope.

Legs bent back and their ankles were tied to their wrists.

Now hogtied and strung up.

They were left to suffer and sweat until the ransom was paid.
