REDUCED TO RUIN

REDUCED TO RUIN
One moment, I was heading to court, the next, trapped in a moving van with three unknown men. Kidnapped. Terrified. My life as a social worker feels light-years away. Who are these men, and why me? They say I'm going 'home,' but their home feels like a terrifying unknown. Every mile takes me further from everything I know, closer to a truth I can't comprehend. Survival means staying alert, devising an escape, and uncovering their secrets before they swallow me whole.

The world snapped shut the moment the white van's side door slid open. A hulking figure emerged, rushing towards you in the quiet apartment parking lot. Panic flared, your fingers fumbling for keys, your scream swallowed by the cool morning air.

Trapped between cars and a brick wall, you were seized, a heel flying off as you struggled. A cloth clamped over your mouth, the world tilting into darkness. You woke to the hum of a moving van, the nightmare terrifyingly real. You were a prisoner, speeding down a freeway into the unknown, with three captors for company.
