IG Part 34
34 Despite everything that had already happened, I still felt an indescribable repulsion at the thought of using someone else’s bath. The same had been true of the restroom, but the physiological phenomenon associated with the restroom carried significant risk, whereas the bath was just a place someone opted for to feel better. A weird…

33 Children are scary, because they’ll say the stuff that adults won’t without batting an eye. There was no buildup, U just hit me with a straight, “You smell.” But that Sunday was the fifth day of my imprisonment. I had not bathed or showered even once. I didn’t even get a change of clothes.…

32 To sum it all up, Saturday ended without any particular incident. Kinda weird to say that given the state of being a kidnapping victim, but at the very least, I was provided a proper lunch and dinner, so my life wasn’t in immediate danger. All my cut wounds from the first day had healed…

31 I told U that she needed to eat three meals a day, but she was already aware of that. She told me that she had been making do with her school lunches only because there was nothing else for her to eat. The continuation of that conversation finally told me how long U had…

30 As previously stated, I had no idea where the nearest convenience store was, so I also had no idea what kind of time frame U would need for shopping. I doubted I had time to case the house or figure anything out about U‘s parents, in any case. Of course, my questions could be…

29 Now, back when I was an elementary schooler, we still had class on Saturdays, but currently I’m pretty sure that’s only relegated to a select few private schools. It’s been almost 20 years, so I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that while I was in junior high, a newly established law gave…

28 What did “gone” mean? I had asked the question to try and learn who U’s parents were, what they were doing, and when they would be back, but her answer stumped all of that. Gone. They went away. What was that supposed to mean? Did they leave and never return? Or were they the……

27 True to form, U came home from school and shoved a plastic bag at me which must have contained her school-issued lunch, just like the day before. “Food,” she said. While handing me her one and only source of nutrition. I didn’t know what to say as I took it from her. Of course,…

26 I spent my time until U returned trying to sharpen my mind that had dulled from three days of confinement. I tried to really think about the situation I was in, and to figure out exactly what was going on in that house. A vacant house. Parents who never came home. An empty fridge.…

25 There’s nothing sadder in the world than an empty refrigerator. I remember a time where it was popular to make movies about young boys and girls fighting off illnesses, but I wouldn’t even be able to shed a single tear for any of those movies with the comparison point of an empty refrigerator. A…
