A Descent into Captivity I was walking through the Walmart parking lot, my mother’s prescription in hand. It was so busy when I got here, I had to park way in the back, practically in the office depot parking lot. I remembered being frustrated on the walked into the store that I had to cross the gigantic black top in 110 degree weather. I was wearing a button up dress that went down to my knees, but even that felt like too much in this heat. They had taken so long to get the prescription ready that by the time I was leaving, the parking lot was half empty, but it seemed to make the heat all the more intense. Nervously, I walked to my car, keys in hand. I felt like someone was watching me. I turned around, no one was there. As I got to my car, I saw a man leaning against the driver side door. He was somewhat tall with dark hair. He had a suit on, and nice shoes. I turned around to go back inside the store, but he caught up to me. There was a rag over my face, and I passed out. When I woke up, I was in the passenger seat of a van, the type that you can practically stand up in. The seat was reclined, so I was completely laying down, and I couldn’t see outside the windows. I tried to move my hands, but they were tied behind the seat. The bottom of the seat felt like it was completely duct taped, and I felt like I was sliding off of it. I tried to readjust myself to get to better a position, but soon realized that the seat had been cut in half, and only my butt could fit on the seat. …and then things took a turn
