Sarah tried desperately to get loose but the ropes were too tight. She might get free on her own if she had more time. With no other options she tried to scream but instead inhaled a mouth full of water from the bath sponge they’d somehow crammed into her mouth. Sarah’s soaked hair draped across her face and nostrils causing even more distress.

Sarah held herself still as long as she could. Finally, out of energy, her body began to settle on the slick floor. Sarah felt herself sliding gently back under the water. She knew this was the end.
