ALICE I can not breathe. I can not even open my eyes. I hear Liam trying to get my attention but I can not find the strength inside me to talk back. The thoughts inside me are like raging fires. All the movies I have seen about how they torture people…can not this be true? Do they really do all that? I can not handle the thought that they might torture someone that I have grown to like or even love. It just can not be possible. I shake my head physically trying to get rid of every thought. “Alice! We do not have much time. They will be here any second. Talk to me, did I hear me? Please…look at me” I know I need to answer but it is like I am frozen in time. I feel the rope against my wrists and the rope against my feet. I slowly get the willpower from somewhere to open my eyes.
