5-30-2012 Torture


The water closed over his head and he allowed himself to sink to the bottom of the murky pool.
He waited as long as he could before pushing off. His bound wrists impeded the swim up. 
His head broke the surface, water choked him from all sides as he tried to breathe, his captors splashing him, disconcerting him. 
He gasped for air, coughing and gagging. 
It stopped, and he tried to breathe before he was forced back under. 
This time he would not come up. 
“We won’t come for you son.” 
He knew what he had to do. 
He knew.
