SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER

“Where am I? I woke up slowly, feeling groggy and drowsy and really out of place. Then it hit me. Everything came rushing back to me like it happened a minute ago. Suddenly I felt my skin shaking while all the hair on my body stood still like pointed needles. My heart can’t stop racing. Looking around I could see nothing but pitch black. I keep looking for any evidence of light escaping through cracks or doors or even a window but found none. The darkness is all around me. A sudden pang struck my heart. I try to move but my body is strapped down. “What the f#@$”? I’m having a panic attack and I start screaming through the bondage that covers my mouth. I scream to the top of my lungs for help. ‘SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME’.
