Anna tied and gagged and blindfolded

Anna, a young Asian woman in her early twenties, wore a flowing blue dress that shimmered faintly under the dim light. She had been spending the day with her boyfriend, someone she had once trusted deeply — but everything took a chilling turn when he lured her into a secluded building on the outskirts of the city.

The place was eerily quiet — an abandoned house with boarded windows and creaky wooden floors. Before Anna could react, he seized her from behind. Her protests were quickly silenced as he stuffed a soft white handkerchief into her mouth and pressed a long strip of white duct tape tightly over her lips. Her eyes widened in panic, but she couldn’t scream. Her vision went black moments later as a thick blindfold was secured around her head.

He laid her carefully on a small mattress placed in the center of the room. With deliberate care, he took lengths of coarse rope and bound her wrists tightly behind her back. The rope bit into her skin as she twisted and resisted, but her strength was no match for his firm knots. Her ankles were bound next, leaving her completely immobilized.

Anna writhed on the bed, her blue dress wrinkled and tangled around her legs. She let out muffled cries — “mmppphh! mmmmmmpphh!” — desperate for anyone to hear her. She arched her back, pulling against the ropes, testing every knot, every loop, but they held fast. She shook her head, the blindfold pressing against her eyelids, blocking out any hope of light or escape.

The silence in the room was oppressive. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she lay down, waiting — hoping — that someone would find her before it was too late.
