IG Part 24
24 I may have escaped from the closet, but my confinement still continued. The front door was tightly locked, after all… not that I couldn’t have undone any window or door lock from the inside. I wondered what to do with myself as I left the bathroom. Nothing in particular came to mind, so I…

23 I mentioned that I wanted to hold out to my absolute limits, and the next day those limits were reached. Admittedly not in the way that I had planned, but it was bound to happen eventually. The morning of the third day was essentially a repeat of day two. I woke up, U announced,…

22 I couldn’t eat the food in portions, as it turned out. Despite my greatest efforts, once I started eating, all the food was gone before I could stop myself. It wasn’t even a full meal. I had been so sidetracked by everything else that I hadn’t acknowledged my own hunger, but I was quite…
IG Part 21
21 I had decided to go until I could go no longer, but no matter what I did, all my mental tricks seemed to amount to spinning my wheels. Strong resolve or not, there was just nothing to do inside that tiny little closet. Once my escape… or, well, the plan for my escape from…
IG Part 20
20 There’s a Japanese fairy tale called The Red Oni Who Cried. The titular oni kidnaps a village child, but ends up so exasperated by the child’s selfish and bratty behavior that he forgoes a ransom and just asks the village to take the child back, and even offers to pay them for the trouble……

19 Typically, humans can’t fall asleep when they’re trying to, and the more asleep you try to be, the wider awake you feel. Fortunately, I was able to fall asleep that night without any issues. Looking at it another way, the fact that I could fall asleep without any issues could very well be considered…
IG Part 18
18 I woke up to a sudden noise, and immediately was awash with shame over my carelessness. I might have cobbled together some sort of plan, but I was in no condition to be relaxed enough to fall asleep. Even sleeping on a train would have made more sense. I immediately thought that I must…
IG Part 17
17 Ultimately, rather than making any phone calls, I decided to just wait for U‘s parents to come home. In the meantime, my eyes had completely adjusted to the dark, so I got to looking around. It didn’t take long for me to find several tools that could be useful for escaping, which only made…
IG Part 16
16 What do I do now? I thought, holding the cell phone I had taken from my pocket. Actually, I should explain why a tech-averse individual like me ended up with a cell phone. I can’t claim that it was for any communication with friends, unfortunately. It was just a method of contact to make…
IG Part 15
15 It would be nice to claim that this had all happened due to my strange ability to stay calm, but really it was just my cowardice that allowed me to so easily be dragged away from my home. Once I’d been locked up in someone else’s closet, I wasn’t sure I could keep up…
