| Once again, Carmen found herself in bondage. She was
stretched out on a bed in a dingy hotel, her hands tied to the headboard
and her feet were tied to a rope that looped the mattress at the foot of
the bed. Lying on her belly, barefoot, with her big toes tied, she
knew some freak was going to be messing with her feet again.
She tried to communicate through the tight cloth that was pulled between
her teeth, but her captor ignored her. It was only after she finished
her useless struggling that her captor spoke. "Hello Carmen," said
a familiar, and yet not quite familiar voice. "I am sure you are aware that
your going through some dramatic changes in your life. Even today,
you will go through a change. As you know, there have been a number
of attempts on your life, all of which you ended up bound and gagged, like
you are now, and ended up facing a deadly situation."
"Today is different, however, in that you are not in mortal danger. Oh,
yes, you are in danger, only what I am planning on doing will not kill you.
It will not, however, make you stronger, like that adage says. I
plan on making it more difficult for you to be able to escape the next time
you find yourself in a perilous predicament." With that, her captor
laughed quietly and held a dropper of green liquid for Carmen to see.
"This is a chemical compound of my own creation, my dear. It works
much like a skin treatment in that it is absorbed into the skin. But,
instead of enhancing the skin, it attacks the nerves near where it touches,
causing them to signal pain. Even the slightest amount causes pain."
With that, the dropper was touched to Carmen's shoulder, and she winced.
Even the residual liquid on the outside of dropper was enough to cause
her shoulder to feel as if it had been pinched.
"Now, I do not know how long the effect is for this chemical, I have never
tested the long term effect of a massive application. That is until
now..." And with that her captor walked to the foot of the bed. "You
see, my dear, I am the one who is behind all the attempts. I want them
to succeed. I want to you to know, and I want to know that you know,
that you were murdered in a cruel way by someone who is only in it for the
money. But so far you have always been able to escape. So I suppose
I need to slow you down...." A drop of the chemical hit the bare sole
of Carmen's right foot. Carmen screamed into the gag. "I am going
to enjoy this much more than you, my dear..." said her captor as the drops
slowly began to coat her feet... |
