Wanted
“Hey, guys! Look! She died from fright!” Polo was laughing again.
I kept my eyes shut and remained as still as I could manage. How long had I been asleep? More importantly, where was I? I had dreamed of dark caves and drowning in water I couldn’t see. I must have awoken while the engine was slowing down, the change in movement jolting me awake. I scolded myself for not keeping track of how far I’d been taken. Why didn’t I think to count the turns or look for exit signs? Tears threatening to ...well up in my throat, but when the engine shut off, I willed myself to stop. If the SUV stopped, that meant I had an opportunity for escape. And while I couldn’t exactly run away, I could at least try and attract attention to myself, leading to a potential rescue.
Although I couldn’t see them, I could feel sets of eyes on me. The doors slammed again. I prayed I was at another truck stop or anywhere that might be well-populated by human life.MoreLess
