Kidnapped

The rickety bus jolted as we were driven across the only real desert in Africa . I'm trying to stay positive pushing back thoughts of how easily it would be for the old bus to break down at any moment    
I decided to dismiss the thought because we had finally reached Cape Town. I couldn't wait to see all of it and film everything in sight    
But it wasn't  in the cards as things changed in a split second. Suddenly , I feared the worse as our bus was flagged down by two men    
They were  white men that climbed aboard with guns in hand wearing nothing to disguise what they looked like. One man approached me, grabbing my wrists, pulling me to my feet I felt sheer terror tied my wrist In front of me.   I asked why they were kidnapping me and I was told to shut up. Then I   asked where were they taking me and he replied, "No more questions."    
Next, the other man grabbed the young man that was sitting directly behind me and tied him up, too. Then we were both blind folded and dragged from the bus.We were thrown into what I later found out was a jeep.    
     
The ride was surprisingly short then we were taken  from the vehicle to what I assumed was a building and thrown inside.      
   
My alarm clock sounded and abruptly woke me up. I laughed when I realized I was completely rolled up in the top sheet unable to move or even decide how I should try to get out of bed.
