OBTUSE
COMING FALL OF 2011
Leslie stood in the middle of the field; surround by the men folk from town.
A cool drizzle fell from the fall sky and a bolt of lightning rocketed through the hazy dusk as thunder rumbled through the valley beyond the ridge of hickory trees.
She felt all alone.
It was time for the Harvest Celebration. She had been told she was going to the harvest day’s celebration. Now she found herself alone in a strange town. She was cold and wet in a strange town, with strange men and the young man who had lured her into the car six months earlier.
The men stood on either side of her in a semi circle. Before her were thick woods and beyond her a high ridge lined with hickory trees. No buildings. No women.
She was the only girl, all right.
Squinting, she tried to peer through the rain as she painstakingly tried to loosen the ropes that bound her hands to the pole. Slowly the young man approached her; whispering in her ear.
“Don’t fight it. You’ll only make it worse.”
Leslie’s lip quivered. “Why are you doing this to me?”
The young man placed his finger to his mouth. “Say no more. I beg you, say no more.”
“Let me go!” She yelled.
The young man whispered to her soothingly. “Don’t fight don’t resist and you will see the light of day again. I promise you this.”
Leslie shivered in the cold fall rain and listened to the roll of thunder as it crackled through the night sky. The rumble of thunder almost seemed like some wild beast growling and in a matter of moments she saw the flame red eyes coming towards her. What she heard was not thunder but a growl. A growl from what was the question she was asking herself. And as the eyes came closer she still had no idea what was to become of her.
