Where There's Smoke There's Fire (IV)

Denny’s house smells strongly of cigarettes. His wife—if he had one—must be a chain smoker too. The house isn’t exactly what you’d call clean, but it’s tolerable. I follow Denny to the upstairs bedroom which is the extra room that’s colored pink. Looking around, I feel something creepy about this and know this wasn’t the best idea. The bed was a single, so I crawl on top of it and close my eyes. This day has been scary and horrible, and very tiring. Denny leaves and I think I hear the door lock, but I’m too tired to care.

My wrists are hurting, and that wakes me up. To my shock, both of my wrists are tied to the bed and my ankles are tied to the bed as well. I struggle, but it’s no use, I’m stuck. I’m panicking. A woman, Denny’s wife I assume, walks in with a tray of what smells like pure shit.

“Eat this, honey. It’s good for little Rachel…”

“Little Rachel?” She’s looking at my belly and I know she means my baby, “Get away, you crazy bitch!” I cry.
