On the day I was kidnapped, my abductor wrapped and tied me in a large sack (one those bags in which grains are stored). He then put me in the back of a truck, shut the sliding door shut and drove away. It happened so quickly - I did not scream and shout. I did protest physically - but how long can a 7 year old fight with an adult man? Before I knew it my body was swaying side to side with the rocking motion of the speeding truck. I kicked pushed and finally got the gunny bag to open. I slid out of the bag - and immediately started banging on the sliding door of the truck - hoping someone would hear and let me free.
My kidnapper did not want me visible - I knew that, somehow, in a teeny way and so, I banged away at the door. It was something I had to do to escape from the truck and the man. Somehow, I also knew that the man who had just kidnapped me was in charge, and that he had the strength, the choice, and the desire to hurt me. In my heart I was sure of these things - and if I was not so desperate I would have lied low and quiet. But my fear and anxiety are so intense that I kept banging on the sliding loud - hoping and praying someone would listen.
Was I taking a risk and being stupid in banging the door? For surely this would alert my kidnapper too! But I am scared and want to be in the open where I can run and hide. Some one - please help!
