Take My Hand
“ So, you are trapped with nowhere to go, how do you feel about that?! hahaha” he tied my hands around the pole, where I saw his other victims. The unfortunate part was, they were all dead. Each and every one of them. Blood on the floor, ropes with stains of blood on them. His victims must of tried really hard to escape. I looked around the room. There’s no hole or window. No one I can call for help, no one who will hear me. I really am trapped. My phone is in his pocket, but he’s not letting me use it. He walks out of the room sometimes. So at least I don’t have to see his face every second. I use it as my time to think of a plan. How can I get out? I don’t remember how I came here? He must have knocked me out but my head is not bleeding or so I don’t think it is. I haven’t checked myself in the mirror yet. I don’t know what time it is or where I am. All I know is I’m alone in this room. It has cob webs and there’s only a door. That door he locks every time he goes outside. He keeps the keys on his neck. I would just like to strangle him and take the keys off from him. Woah woah. Wait a minute when did I become so aggressive. I have so much pent up anger towards him. I don’t even know his name. Or who he is. He opens the door. “ I’m baaaack” he says. He’s wearing a plaid red shirt with long sleeves and white pants. His pants look clean. He must have washed it. He keeps changing his clothes. I don’t know why. He’s the only one that he sees. Why hasn’t he decided to kill me yet? Why am I the only one he is still keeping. I need to find a way to get out. I’ll try talking with him, maybe he can be reasonable enough to listen to me. “ Sir, “ I say. “ You killed everyone else, except me, I don’t know what your plan is for me. You know I want to get out, but you said I am trapped here. I don’t know where I am, who you are, why you chose me to stay and why you chose me to be trapped. I can see that you are pretty skillful since you killed so many people. Which is scary but at the same time impressive. I don’t know what you want with me, but how about you talk with me and listen to me just for a little. Maybe I can change your mind. I can give you an offer you can’t refuse. How would you think if I worked with you?”
