I sat in my dull, cement cell, staring at the wall.
What if I did kill her? I thought. They found my fingerprints, and I don't remember what happened last night.
No. I forcefully told myself. You couldn't have. Your not that kind of person.
I sighed. I was so not getting any sleep tonight.
A loud clang on my cell door shook me out of my thoughts.
The door opened and a large, tall man came in carrying a rust covered tray with a dry-looking sandwich and a cup that didn't look like it was in much better shape than the tray balancing it.
Without merely a glance my way, the man walked out of my cell, and locked the door.
I stared at the dry sandwich and water. No way was I eating that!
Five minutes later I gave into the hunger gnawing away at my stomach and guzzled down the water and food at record speed.
I stood up to put the empty tray and cup by the door, but a wave of nausea overtook me, causing me to drop the tray and cup on the floor.
My legs gave out and I crashed onto the floor. The pounding in my head caused me to cry out. Lights danced in my eyes.
I faintly heard the cell door open. I tried to lift my head up to see the intruder, but I couldn't move.
The last thing I heard before the darkness fully consumed me was maniacal laughter.
Then everything was gone.

I woke up hours later. My head was throbbing. I could feel ropes restraining my wrists and ankles. A gag that tasted of dirt and stale soda covered my mouth.
I fought back tears. I missed my mom. When I had wished for a more exciting life, this wasn't what I had in mind.
Please let me get out out of this. I silently begged. I'll never my life for granted again. I swear.
I closed my eyes and waited to be woken up from what I prayed was only a crazy dream.
