Abducted.

The moment that I read of that woman being abducted by the side of the road my mind went reeling. OMG! What could have happened? Where did “they” take her? Will we find her in time? Will she be alive? Will she be able to cope with the trauma of it all?

Then she showed up. My mind went reeling. Was she wounded? Could she talk? Was she raped? How did she get away? Where was she?

Then it was all a lie. My mind went reeling. How could she? Has she been living under a rock? Doesn’t she know what we have been through? Doesn’t she know how hard we have fought to be believed?

My mind went reeling. I was actually abducted. I was actually blindfolded and shoved in a car at knife point. I was actually raped by five men. I actually convinced them not to kill me. I actually made it home. I actually went through hell.

I was fifteen. It was fifty three years ago. Every time there is a news story like the one that sent me reeling my heart just aches. I ache for any person that has experienced such horrific terror.

If I could meet that woman I think I would slap her!!
