The Kidnapping

PHOTO PROMPT ยฉ Roger Bultot 

I cracked my eyes open and knew the window was not mine.  The plants were not mine.  The bed I was lying on was not mine.  I had been hoping the events of the night before had been a strange dream, a nightmare even, but now I knew everything I remembered was true.  Everything I remembered had happened, but the one thing I could not figure out was why it had happened.  Why had Joseph thrown me into his car?  Why hadnโ€™t he taken me home?  As soon as the singing started in the next room, I suddenly knew why.

    I’m assuming the victim is a woman but it’s not made explicit in the text. So, he wants a captive audience for his singing?

    Yep, a poor singing voice needs a captive audience.

      Being held captive and tortured with awful singing assaulting the senses, how agonising! Great story!

    Surely he could have found another way to convince her to listen? Too cruel, this!

    Hmm, this gave me a chill. I have a feeling all will not go well for this kidnapped person. Torturous singing aside. ๐Ÿ™‚
