It was late and I was driving through the mountains of West Virginia. I thought I had enough gas to get to the next town, but I didn't. I ran out on the side of the road in the middle of a rainstorm.
I walked for about three miles before I came across a large house. I knocked on the door hoping to get some kind of help. A young girl dressed in Nun garb answered the door and welcomed me to the convent. I told her my story and she agreed to help.
I was brought inside and given a room to sleep in, as none of the phones were working due to the storm. Another young nun came in and took my wet clothes, apologizing that all they had here nun habits for me to wear while mine were getting dry. I didn't complain because it was better than being stuck out in the rain.
I slept hard through the night. When I woke up I went to get out of bed, but soon realized my hands and feet were bound. I screamed out for help and soon two nuns walked in the room.
One was young, though I couldn't tell much about her because of her clothing. The other was tall, blond, and in her mid forties. She had a scowling look on her face.
"What is going on? Let me go, I have to leave!"
"I'm afraid that won't be possible," the older woman said. She must be the head nun, as she spoke with a certain authority.
"When we dried your clothes, we found your phone and all the graven images it had on it. You are a sinner. We must save you by allowing you to repent. You must stay here until God releases you. We are here to help you repent."
"This is crazy!" I screamed. "This is kidnapping! I will not be held captive!"
No sooner had my words come out than the older woman smacked me hard with what looked like a horse whip. It stung and I screamed, but she kept going until I was no longer in any mood to fight. I was left as pretty much just a lump of clay, beaten and bruised, still tied to the bed.
"Remove his bonds, and attach the ones I gave you so he can walk." The older woman ordered, and the younger woman obliged. My hands and feet were untied, then tied together with just enough room for me to barely walk.
However, that wasn't to be my fate. As soon as I rose off the bed, the older nun whipped me again.
"You must crawl on your knees! You must repent for your sins, and that means humbling yourself." I had no choice as I had been literally whipped into submission so I followed the two Nuns on my knees, crawling behind them.
We walked down a long hallway and finally turned into what looked like an office. I was brought on my knees to kneel in front of the desk, and behind it sat a chair that the older woman immediately sat in.
"I am Mother Superior, I am the head nun at this convent. We were put here by God to save the souls of sinners like you. The only way you can be saved is to repent, and the only way to do that is by humbling yourself before God."
"What? This is ridiculous!" I started to protest, but was given another good whipping from behind by the younger woman until I couldn't talk anymore and was flat on my face before the feet of the older woman. It was then I noticed she was barefoot.
