Frantic

My heart thumped and bumped against my rib cage, needing to get out, needing to escape. Attempting to race away like I only wished I could do. The footsteps neared closer and closer. my heart now seemed to sink into my stomach then only to get caught in my throat, which is what I wish my scream would have done. The door handle rattled and the floorboards creaked. I couldn’t break free, the ropes around me seemed to wrap tighter, and tighter around me till I could no longer move. I frantically glanced around the dark, shadow shrouded room. And there it was… My way out of here if only I could reach a little farther…
