THE VICTIMS
Suddenly, his hand caught my throat instead of the other lady's, raising me off the ground as she fell to her knees, gasping for air as the other woman was suddenly dropped by his hand.
As I struggle to breathe, I claw at his hand in an attempt to break myself from his hold. At the same time, I can feel the bones in my throat beginning to shatter, and I can see blackness forming on the periphery of my vision.
Laughing to myself, I wonder why I'm fighting it, death. If he squeezes the life out of me, I will be spared the worst atrocities I know he has planned for me. I am fighting death.
As my limbs become increasingly burdened, I wait for the experience to come to an end.
