“You are never going to escape from me,” said the disembodied voice. It was rather grating and adenoidal, as if he was crying profusely and it caused all the blood to retreat from my head. A funny tickling feeling of apprehension went from the area of my lungs down to my lower abdomen. I was stuck in a precarious position, tied to a chair with a rope with my hands hung up from a metal loop above my head. Who on Earth was this person, and why wasn’t he showing himself to me? Frankly speaking, I didn’t want to know what he looked like because I pictured him as every other notorious and boisterous looking criminal.

He always supported me, lent me a shoulder to cry on and did countless other adorable deeds that I never acknowledged. I felt like the most terrible person alive and would be extremely happy if the ground swallowed me up right then. I didn’t want to be tied down by him but a part of me wanted to believe that he would change himself to please me.
A spasm of tension and worry crossed his face. A stressed line formed in his eyebrows. He was chewing on his lips and his eyes haunted with some inner anxiety, his face taut and drawn.

There is no saving yourself from a man in its throes. Roy’s face was haunted and wild. The cords of his neck muscles were like cables; his lips made a hard gash. The unceasing blows were fueled by a need to hurt me that was greater than his own need for oxygen or even freedom. His need to hurt me was greater even than my own desire to survie.

I leaned back and turned my head so I could see him. Yet, he tensed when our eyes met and he glared at me, so I leaned forward so I was standing up straight and turned to the right and began to follow the path.

My heart would palpitate while my skin flushed. I could feel myself getting hotter and more nervous as thoughts raced through my head. They weren’t connected, but they felt tied together, stuck. I felt as if my life was on a video reel but the sounds were distorted, and the film was held together by a shaky hand. My teacher looked at me, saying something but all I heard was unintelligible speech, the other students were staring at me while I prayed silently for a sinkhole to open up and remove me from the situation entirely.

Life is like a roller coaster -- with many ups and downs. The speaker of the intense story in the poem “In the Well” by Andrew Hudgins literally experiences one of life’s “down’s” as his father lowers him down into a well in order to rescue his neighbor’s lost dog. The speaker tells his story as he “could taste” his “fear” (4-5). He is closely surrounded by “dark” and “rot”, and then he hits his head and tastes blood (6). As the speaker goes through his story, he illustrates how he faced his fear and rescued the dog, but as he hauled it up, the dog died in his arms.

It is 2012 and I have somehow gotten myself in the stranglehold of a classmate of mine. I fruitlessly wriggle to get free but only to feel the hands around my neck getting tighter and my panic setting in.
