Henry awoke on a cold surface, his wrists and ankles bound.
Through the gag he screamed, “Help,” but only a muffled sound escaped!
Where am I? I remember bringing Hope’s things to charity. Drove home, and something pinched my back.
He struggled to sit up. A thud filled the air, as his head smacked into a hard object.
He writhed; the effort caused the blindfold to slip. A bright light permeated the space. Oh my god, I’m in a box. Take a deep breath. If they wanted me dead, they would have killed me. In the distance a door creaked.

That creak can mean the end or a new beginning of sorts.. but lying blindfolded in a box does not bring the happy ever after into mind.. Poor Henry.
Thanks, but it’s not over until it’s over.
I’m not sure if having light in the box is better than complete darkness or not. Either way, not a good situation. I think you want “wrists” in the first line.

I agree the light may not be the best. Thanks for the catch on the spelling mistake it has been fixed.
Some scary stuff you have here. Good story, well written.
Thanks for reading.
I remember ‘The Gimp’ from Pulp Fiction. There are things worse than death. Very goosebumpy. Well done. 🙂
Thanks, I forgot about the gimp in Pulp fiction.
Dear Cole,
Great build of tension and suspense. You left me wondering what happens next with fear and trembling. Good job.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Depending on the prompt, it should continue next week. Thanks for reading.
Dear Cole,
What gag?
I think he just fell into the goodwill bin. Someone is coming to let him out.
Aloha,
Doug
The gag in his mouth. Although the goodwill bin would be funny.
Unhappy Henry. The immediate future looks grim. I suspect pliers will be next.
Good idea on the pliers. I’ll keep it in mind.
I hope there’s an escape in the future.
After what he did to Jason and Hope do you think he deserves it?
Dear Cole,
This is so scary and intriguing, I can’t wait to read more!

Thanks for the great review.
