Leaving/Janet/Fake/Stay down
From Create Your Own Story
You keep pretending to be unconscious, waiting for him to finish whatever he's here for and leave. Hoping he's not here for you.
He comes back over to you holding a roll of duct tape which he uses liberally to bind your wrists behind your back, your legs together at the ankle and knee, and over your mouth by wrapping it around your head several times.
Your heart is pounding. You don't want him to see you're still conscious but you have no idea what he's going to do next.
But he puts you back down and walks away again. You hear a second set of footsteps, doors being opened, lots of things being moved. You almost feel relieved that they're just here to steal things.
Then they both come over to you.
"What do we do with her?" One of them says.
"Why did you use so much duct tape?" The other says.
"I thought that's what you gave it to me for."
"You were only supposed to use a single little strip on her mouth not the whole fucking roll all over her! You were supposed to use the rope to tie her up! How are we supposed to get all this off of her before we leave?"
"Why do we have to get it off of her?"
"Because the duct tape is fucking evidence, it's got fingerprints, skin cells, hair and shit all over it. That's why I said to only cover her mouth with it. So we could rip it off before we left!"
"Well you didn't tell me why!"
"Well you should have just fucking done as I said!"
"I'm no good with knots, I figured the duct tape would be fine."
"Whatever. Let me think."
After a long, suspenseful pause, the man who didn't tape you up, the one clearly in charge, speaks again.
