The kidnapper

You constantly felt someone's presence, but when you turned around, you saw no one. This went on for a long time, and with each passing day, your panic grew. Then you'd be returning home from a walk, and suddenly someone grabbed you and dragged you into a car. You tried to break free, using your arms and legs. The kidnapper tied you up without making a sound, and then the car started moving. You screamed as loud as you could, but suddenly the guy turned on a playlist with your favorite songs, and you didn't understand what was happening. Two hours later, when your voice was hoarse and your strength had failed you, you lay silently in the backseat. The car stopped in some quiet village. The guy picked you up and carried you into the house. It was difficult for him, as you continued to scream and squirm. When you entered the house, he laid you on the couch and untied you. Wasting no time, you punched him hard in the stomach and ran for the exit. The door seemed stuck, and you struggled to open it, but by that time the guy was already running after you. He grabbed you and used some kind of hold, causing you to fall and break your ankle. He picked you up and carried you into the house.

• I ran myself to the limit.
