Abduction
by Paloma Sapien
Crunch. Heidi looked up, glancing from side to side. Crunch. She had thought she was alone. Crunch. Her heart beat faster and her hand clenched the heart on her necklace. Crunch. She quickened her pace as she heard footsteps coming from behind her. Her hand started to cramp up from holding the necklace so hard. Crunch. Heidi turned slowly. A dark figure stood about ten feet away from her. She panicked as she heard the footsteps behind her getting quicker.
“Who’s there?” she said, still walking.
The figure was silent. Only the sounds of heavy breathing came from its mouth.
“What do you want?”
The breathing got louder as the figure moved closer.
Heidi let go of her necklace, and turned her head one last time before she started to run. The figure’s footsteps got louder. It was getting closer. Tears welled up Heidi’s eyes.
“HELP!”
Her cries for help were followed by silence and the tears started to run down her face. She grabbed for her phone with shaky hands, and dialed 911.
Ring….Ring….Ring….
“C’mon please.” Heidi cried out.
“911, what’s your emergen--”
The figure had caught up with Heidi and knocked the phone out of her hand. It smashed to pieces.
“No!”
The figure put one of his large hands over Heidi’s mouth. It muffled her screams. Heidi went to elbow the man in the stomach, but he grabbed her arm before she could do anything. The man grabbed her and struggled to get her into an alleyway. Heidi’s heart was beating faster than she’s ever felt it beat before. She was still trying to scream, the sound being muffled each time.
“Stop that.” the man said, slowly.
Heidi kept screaming, trying to squirm out of his grasp.
“I’m warning you.”
Her face was red from crying and...
... middle of paper ...
...e keeled over in pain and Heidi grabbed the bowl and hit the man as hard as she could in the side of the head with the bowl. The man fell against the wall and Heidi made a run for it. She had no idea where she was going, considering she had never been outside of that room.
“GET BACK HERE!”
She began to hear footsteps against the concrete ground, her memory flashing back to when she was taken. Heidi ran as fast as she could to the first door she saw. She wiggled the door handle. It was locked. She tried the next door. Locked. The footsteps grew louder. The man was getting closer. She ran to another door and turned the handle, the door opened and revealed a grassy area that looked like it went on for days. There was no time to think, only to run. Without looking back, she ran towards the horizon, hoping it would take her somewhere safe. Somewhere like home.
She begins to tear strips of the wallpaper and continues to do so all night until morning yards of the paper are stripped off. Her sister-in-law Jennie offers to help, but at this point the narrator is territorially protective of the wallpaper. She locks herself in the room and is determined to strip the wall bare. As she is tearing the wallpaper apart she sees strangled heads in the pattern shrieking as the wallpaper is being torn off. At this point, she is furious and even contemplates jumping out the window, yet even in her euphoric state, she realizes this gesture could be misinterpreted.
She felt like something was being ripped inside of her, like a piece of paper being torn in half. She felt good. She pushed in her stomach muscles and let all of her feelings and emotion out in that scream. Then on the other half of my artwork, you can see that everything has changed from sadness to happiness, this part was based on the climax. This is what happened after the
This paper will shed light on the abductions of three young women by Ariel Castro. Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus were held captive for over a decade in Ariel Castro’s home located in Cleveland, Ohio. These women were all raped and beaten during their years of captivity by a man that they each had known or come in contact with prior to being abducted. After their rescue Ariel Castro faced charges for the rape and kidnapping of these women, he later pled guilty to these charges. After pledging guilty to the charges Ariel Castro hung himself one night in his jail cell. Each one of these girls maintained a since of hope that
When they finally told her, she reacted as a regular wife would react. She locked herself on a room thinking about how terrible this was, but them she realized this was not that bad as it seemed. After a few minutes she understood that her husband’s death
As Manley Pointer slammed the barn door shut behind him, the ladder to the loft collapsed to the floor. Hulga did all she could—scream. Minutes passed. Hours dragged on as Hulga continued crying for help. Deeming her efforts futile, Hulga wept. As the sun set beyond the horizon, Hulga’s eyes dried up. With no glasses and no rays of sun seeping in through the cracks in the roof, Hulga felt around blindly, gathering a small bundle of hay upon which to lay her head.
I heard a blood-curdling scream and I jumped. I felt silent tears running down my heavily scarred face, but they weren’t out of sadness. Mostly. They were a mixture of pain and fear. I ran into the eerie, blood-splattered room and screamed as I felt cold fingers grab my neck.
Her senses drifted away, causing her to experience a dream in which she talked to herself and meditated about her life. Although the young white hunter who helped her get out of the ditch was sort of disrespectful, there was another person that one might find more disrespectful. The harassment she faced throughout her journey was found in the environment. She had to go through a series of hills and bad terrain. The part she struggled the most was through the barbed wire fence.

Suddenly her bed was empty. Her room was empty. The nametag on her door was gone. Annie slept most of the weekend and, one day, just didn’t wake up. She was gone. I was shattered. ================
Before she opened the door, she asked, “Who is it?” But no one answered. A few seconds later there was another knock. Janine flung open the door, “What the...”
...en a strange feeling down his spine again, as if something was breathing on his neck. He turned slowly… seeing if someone was behind him and then boom! The figure was right there, about seven feet away, trying to grab him with his big, skinny, hands, with his sharp and dark fingernails that could rip a man’s heart out… He fell down, so surprised by the strange figure.
Knocked down, face flat on the floor, she cried herself to sleep for the longest time. “This was an impossible chase. I can’t do this anymore,” she thought to herself.
She left the party before the man even got his turn she came to her sense and saw the rage on the man's face she fled swiftly and impatiently. The man and his goons chased after her. She tripped over her long gown and tried to rip it so she can run she was running so fast she forgot where she was going. Then all of a sudden she felt a thud on her head. Barely keeping her eyes open she felt her being strangled by a rope. She gets choked to
“He’s not asleep,” Said a gravely male voice which caused Shawn’s heart to skip a beat. “Look at his heart monitor, Lilith; it proves he is awake.” The man said. Shawn heard light feminine footsteps get closer to his bed and a hand grabbed his chin by one hand and a slightly damp rag was placed over his nose and mouth by the other. Shawn’s eyes snapped open and he saw a young woman with slightly crazed blue eyes and a large just as crazy grin holding the damp rag over his mouth. Shawn started to struggle but soon his struggles weakened and he slipped into darkness.
The teachers come, a large man begins CPR while the girl remains benevolent, in a matronly position, kneeling and cradling Al’s head in the cushion of her palms. Through it all she does not look up, even when spurts of blood from Al’s mouth reach her face and eyes, that blood built up within his orifice gurgling and geysering with each push of the teacher’s fists into his lungs. She does not turn from her grisly heroic task, though her arms shake from restraining and then supporting Al’s head, as she calmly reassures others that it will be all right. After seeing Al safely away with the EMTs, she takes only a few moments to collect herself, then, claiming no credit...
