The cable ties dug into my wrists as I wriggled, my skin felt

sweaty and raw. I could feel my heart beating in my ears, the

heaviness of my limbs as blood violently pumped through my veins.

My warm breath smothered me with the bag over my head. With

every breath I sucked in, then out, I felt dizzier. Sweat poured down

my face like a waterfall. The tape that clung around my mouth pulled

at all the little hairs on my skin. The darkness terri"ed me.
