Trapped

It was bright... the sun reflected off of the snow, and I was lost. I had been out several times already that day, and I knew that the weather was taking it's toll on my body. I was feeling sore... all over... and it DID NOT feel good. I decided to take a break and I lay out on the snow trying to keep from getting soaked. I failed. My mind journeyed back to

Day had dawned early for me that day. I don't know how I got caught up in the frenzy so early, but I did. Now I was trapped in a hectic sledding escapade and I didn't know how to escape. The ringleader was a tough cookie to crack, but I finally managed. Actually, the chilly weather finally seeped into the kidnapping fiend's bones and she released us to get warm. Oh how little I knew....

She fed us. I guess she was trying to lull us into a false sense of security. Everyone fell for it but me. While they all stuffed their faces with delicious hot spaghetti and some sort of pudding with oranges, I was scoping out the kidnapper's abode. Clean, orderly... too orderly. Everything was alphabetized. The walls started closing in. I had to get out!

She left under the guise of some work necessity and kicked us out of her apartment, but I knew... I knew she wasn't through with us yet. My colleagues and I went to study and she seemed to be there.. always watching. She struck again at three that afternoon. She kidnapped me strapped me in my boyfriend's car and made me go sledding. I screamed and kicked but they didn't hear me... it was all on the inside. I laughed and made jokes. I was incognito though... surveying their oddities and trying to figure out how it all fit together.

Now here I am stuck in the snow freezing. I have already attempted injury and my body won't cooperate. I know that someday someone will find me laying on a deflated inner tube and wonder how I died.

Oh wait.. here they come.. I am sure they are only going to kidnap me to some further fiendish plan of theirs. They promise food and fun.. but I am watching.. always watching.. hehehehe.
