"MISSION FAILED" flashes across the screen as I rub my eyes to try to wake up more. The game music warbles as it displays my options. Looking at the clock on the desk phone, I sigh. It's only 3:30 a.m. and my shift doesn't end till 7. The lobby of the hotel I work for has been deserted all night. Beset with an extreme loneliness, I grab my cigarettes. I leave the office through the laundry room in the back, propping the door as I go. Usually this action would be highly against regulation. "This door is to remain closed and locked for the safety of the front desk staff!" the sign on the inside of the door reads. However, not a soul had appeared all night and I was sure there was no danger. I had gotten into this bad habit over the last few weeks but I think nothing of it. Heading out into the cold, I strike up and start my rounds around the parking lot. Like we needed it. Nothing interesting ever happens...
Finished smoking, I return in the way I came. I don't notice the door was propped further open than I had left it. Nor do I notice the man in the shadows of the industrial water heaters. He notices me, however. He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. As I start to close the door, the lights go out. I freeze and the door slams, making me jump. Laughing at myself, I search, arms outstretched, for the wall with the light switch. I never make it that far.
He grabs my left wrist, twisting my arm painfully behind my back. I gasp and He stuffs a rolled up wash cloth completely into my mouth making me choke slightly. Leading me by my captured arm, He bends me over the folding table to where my feet are only touching the ground at my toes. He wrenches my other hand behind my back and zip ties them together. My head is spinning. I finally realize the gravity of the situation I am in when my pants slip off one hip. I start to scream as loud as I can through the wash cloth. The dark chuckle I hear in response paralyzes my cries.
"Now, now. You wouldn't want an inquiry to happen and your co-workers to find out what you like, would you?" I know that voice. My posture must have relaxed enough that He notices for suddenly I feel a searing pain in my scalp as He jerks my ponytail, snapping my head back. "I wouldn't get to complacent just yet. This is going to be painful..." I hear hesitation in His words.
I try turning my head to see Him but there was nothing but darkness. He yanks my pants, panties included, straight down murmuring His approval. "Your workouts seem to have done you good. Ah, yes," he leered as I shimmied on the table, "yes, my sweet angel. I've been watching you for some time." His hand lands with a loud smack on my bare ass. I jerk as the shockwave pulses through me. "For instance, you go for a cigarette every night around this time." He lands another blow on the other cheek, hard enough to bring tears. "And you always leave this door open. You were just asking for this. There are no cameras on this door." I feel his breath on my calves for a second, confusing me. His intentions are clear in a second as I feel the zip ties fasten my legs open to the cold metal of the table supports. My struggles renew with a fervor. This accomplishes nothing, amusing Him.
