Captive

Captive (Chresanto August)

"Bye Mom. I love you."


I had no idea that would be the last thing I said to my mother.

I was on my way to the airport. I walked because it was close to my old house.

My dumb ass should've just went with Mama. She told me not to walk. She told me to let her take me.



But what did I do?



I walked anyways.



And what happened?



I got kidnapped.


I'm twenty two years old and I got kidnapped.



I was beaten, raped, hurt--physically and emotionally.

I just want to know why.

What had I done?

Had I angered the man for some reason? Did I hurt him in the past?

I didn't know.

This is my story.

The story of how I was kidnapped, beat, raped, and tortured.

This is the story of how I, Ebony Foster, was held Captive.
