The only thing on my mind is getting to the band around my leg. I’m wheezing hard as the immense pain and panic have set in.
• I yelp loudly again as he strikes me for the first time since arriving in the room.
• “Knock that noise off. You know the penalty for yelping. I don’t want to hear your pathetic cries.”
