Ashley
Bright lights flash in my eyes, then mellow down to a scene; or more like a picture. A picture of my life. A sparsely lit room- no, wait, a truck- and I could barely breath in the air with cheap colonge and something around my mouth. I also couldn't see, and when I tried to move, I realized my hands were tied behind my back with thick rope.
At, first, I don't remember where I am, but then, it suddenly comes rushing back to me. This is the night I got kidnapped.
As my five year-old self is riding in the truck, I remember the details.
It was a really nice night. My parents took my twin brother and me out for ice cream and then to our favorite playground. He kept bugging me to play tag with him, and I finally agreed, chasing him and giggling. I turned around to see how far behind me I was, I bumped into something. Or more like someone. I remember seeing dark black suit pants, then just darkness. And then I was here, in the truck, bouncing along the dirt road.
Then it ended as quickly as it began; the flashback was over.
