Kyra never expected this to happen, does anyone? But here she was. She didn't know where here was because there was a blindfold. She couldn't take the blindfold off because she was tied down to what felt like a bed. She could remember being at work and then she could remember being here but nothing in between. No faces. No names. Nothing. Just being there and being here. Wasn't this day turning out to be great? She heard a voice: "Meal time." "Hello?" She mumbled. Her throat was dry. How long had she been asleep? She couldn't tell you. "Please let me---" "Shut up." Kyra did what she was told. She felt a straw poking at her lips and sucked. Now that her throat didn't feel so dry, she was hungry. That was good because when the straw came out, some food went in. She chewed instinctively. But what if it was poisoned she thought. It was too late now. "Good girl," she heard someone say. Then she didn't remember anything for a while. Did she fall asleep? She wasn't sure. It was hard to tell with a blindfold over the eyes and something binding her to the bed. At least I'm not at work she caught herself saying, but she shut the inner voice up before it could say anything else. One thing was for sure, she would definitely be on the market for a new job if she got out of this mess. Wait...if? Well of course, after she got out of this. The straw. The drink. The food and chew. She felt a sting and she was asleep again. "Meal time." She heard the voice call. She tried to sit up but she couldn't move. In fact, she couldn't feel some things. "I can't feel my legs." She said. "Can't you loosen the ropes? Maybe let me go? I haven't seen you, I'll never tell." But if they were listening, whoever they were, they weren't responding. She drank water from the straw, ate the awkward tasting meat she was fed and felt the sting. It was becoming her new way of life.
