He lay on his bound arms, contorted by the ropes behind his back. Wrists crossed and pushed up high toward his head. Elbows and forearms roped together.
Biceps tied and pulled just a few inches apart. Torso and gut crisscrossed and circled with rope.
Each leg bent, ankle tied to this thigh.
Rags stuffed down his throat and tied in place with ropes between his teeth and around his head.
He looked down at his chest.
The tight ropes ha swelled his pecs, and strips of rope burn covered his sweaty torso.
He looked at his buddies.
Fear and terror on his faces, their bodies like a rope mummy.
Put on their knees. Rope from the roof tied to their wrists....
They balanced as best they could, every movement now torture.
Forced to watch the same video, over and over,
foreshadowing their fates
if the ransom was not paid.
