One Way Out : A Memoir of Captivity and Freedom

"You?re going to kill me,? I heard myself cry out. It?s one in the morning, and I am blindfolded. I am terrified! I hear only the sound of my own heart beating. My hands are now tied behind my back. The needle he used to try and sedate me still hanging from the position in my arm. The man I thought I loved, held me hostage. I wondered if I were dreaming, but I wasn't. I recall the sweaty stench of his debauchery that filled the air. Hours passed and I was only able to remove my blindfold by maneuvering my body against the bed to allow the blindfold to slip off my head. In my despair only one thought came to me. ?God where are you?? Those hours of captivity changed my life far more than I ever thought the trauma would last. This is my story.
