The room was quiet but for the sound of water dripping from
the corner. It was dark and damp, smelled like dirt, a basement maybe. She
twisted and pulled at the ropes on her wrists. A sound from the corner made her
pause. Scratch.. scratch...the rustle of paper or maybe cloth then a large rat
ran across her feet. She gasped and wiggled her feet as much as the ropes would
let her. There wasn't much time left, she worked harder and managed to loosen
the knots just enough. Her hands trembled and pulled furiously on the other
bonds until the door creaked and a sliver of light crept toward her. He was
back.
