Scared silly
The past.....the morning
she woke up... Head pounding
eyes unfocused
as clarity returned..her heart started pounding
she was locked in a steel cage
the past....the night before....
He'd been watching this carpark for two weeks now
here she comes ...bang on time
he readied himself.........
The cage......
She remebered.. An awful smell
pressure to her nose and mouth
then nothing
oblivion
one year later.........
I love him she thought ...i really do...
The cage door opened
5 years later....
They sat side by side...relaxed together
the documentary was just starting
a psychologist was talking about a phenomenon called.......the stockholm syndrome
