The Darkness

 "We kept tightly tied up with ropes.... gagged.... and locked in this pitch dark room.

If you don't pay the ransoms as they demand, they will pick one of us at random, and torture us to death!"

"We were brought in with our crossed wrists tied behind our backs.  We saw these tall back chairs.  We were seated with our arms behind the chairs.  Our wrists were strained in the ropes.  They began by ball gagging us, then roping our necks and biceps to the chair.  They crisscrossed roped across our chests and guts, binding our bodies to the chair. 

Our feet were pulled to the back of the chair and tied to the back legs, and our thighs were circled with ropes binding them to the seat of the chair.

We sat, unable to move.  Our spit drooled from our mouths drenching our shirts, already drenched with sweat.

 

Billy watched.  His arms and body burning from the tight roping, as the slowly closed the door and plunged him and his kidnapped buddies into darkness.
