Wednesday, 8 December 2010 11:08:48 PM (GMT) My heart throbbed and pulsed throughout my body as my palms grew red and slippery
with sweat. One wrong move and it would be my last. I searched with shaking hands for
an exit or some type of an escape, but found none. Submerged in a sea of unforgiving
empty darkness, lost in the unpredictable wave receding to the shadowed corners of my
mind, I began to lose sight and hold of reality. Trapped in a pitch black room with
walls made entirely of cement and a solid titainium door obscuring my only path to
freedom.
I felt the numbingly cold cement press to my back as I slid to the floor with warm
tears stinging my eyes that wondered aimlessly about the black abyss I had found
myself in.
Even through thick cement walls, I still managed to hear the bloodcurdling screams
of excruciating pain belonging to my one and only closest friend. I knew her since I
was a child and promised her I would do anything for her; that I would never leave
her. And now, I could do nothing but listen to her screams as she endured the worst
form of torture for any woman.
I let warm tears roll down my cheeks and hid my face between my knees trying to
keep my harsh sobs quiet enough so they wouldn't hear. If they heard, I would face
the same fate my dear friend was bearing as this very moment.
"Please...", I whispered to myself, "please God..." More tears leaked from my eyes
and a hard sigh escaped my lips. My chest heaved unevenly with frigid gasps burning
my lungs and throat as they left my lips.
Scared and alone I let a scream build in my chest and let it break through the
dead silence.
There was no escaping this time.
I was going to die here, my friend was going to die here.
For the first time in a very long time, I had finally lost every last ounce of faith
I had left.
There was no one there to save me this time... Last edited: 23 December 2010 |
