Paralysis

--Not a great story, but thought I'd write it because it's unfortunately true. Happened to my friends room mate when she went away, to Africa I believe. She went to press charges, but over there when a woman yells rape, her whole sexual history is on trial. So he got away with it because she was scared to go through with it...The guy who did it is apparently a repeat offender.

She awoke in her hotel bed unable to move. A gag covered her mouth, making it difficult to breathe. In a panic she tried to move any part of her body, starting with the legs, then her arms. Total paralysis. The last thing she remembered was going out for some drinks with her friend. The rest was a blur.

She could hear heavy breathing to the right of her. Out of her peripheral vision she could see her friend lying on the other bed, a man on top of her grinding away. She wasn't moving either, the man was in complete control. Had they been drugged?

He stopped raping the other girl, got off the bed and started walking towards her. She tried again to move, but it was useless. There was nothing she could do as he mounted her and had his way.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked into his eyes, causing him to smile.
