Wonder and Wait

 We were roped and gagged.

When we were helpless we were drugged.

Dumped into a van.

And taken away.

We we awoke

We discovered how tight they tied us up.

Our wrists pounding with numbness.

Our legs cramped.

Then the ransom photos began.

They knew there stuff.

Shirtless... makes you feel defenseless.

Wrists tied.

Forced to watch your buddies roped, gagged and drugged.

Then the ropes around the chest lashing your upper arms to your sides.

Bound wrists pushed up and tied to the ropes across your back.

Socks shoved into your mouth.

Taped

Drugged

When your kidnapped and tied like that, hours feel like days.

Your struggle to get free until you are exhausted, drenched in a cold sweat and skin covered with rope burns.

You wait for the ransom to be paid.

And have nightmares on what they plan to do to you if the ransom is not paid.

All you can do is to wonder and wait.
