He drags me out of the car that he put me in. He puts his hands on my bare shoulders covered only by a scrawny tank top. His hands are rough and calloused as they push my forward. 

And then they're gone. 

A door opens. 

The hands reappear. 

More walking. 

A turn. 

Three steps.

Turn. 

Five steps. 

Turn. 

Ten steps. 

"Up," a gruff voice says into my ear. 

It takes me a second to realize what he means, before practically tripping over the step. 

Eight more steps. 

Left. 

One step. 

Right. 

Three steps.

He spins me around. 

"Sit." He commands. 

I sit, and am surprised to find that it's a mattress I'm sitting on, not a block of concrete or a chair. There's hands behind my head, and they're pulling at the blindfold, trying to untie it. It comes off, and I'm astonished at what lies in front of me.
