25 -Just Like His Father

These holes inform me that there's some sort of cloth over my head, and it takes a few seconds for me to realize that my legs are dragging on the ground behind me, as I'm being held up my unbelievably strong grips.
I gently roll my wrist and realize that neither my legs nor arms are bound. I have to figure out a way to get out of this mess.
