Free The End by Jr Herman Grobler

nothing, not even the slightest clue
to where she might have gone to, stressing all over again, Maggie
continues searching for her sister Jacky.
    “What a good day don’t you think?” The
strange man asked in the dark room, Jacky can see the clothing but
nothing else.
    “I asked you a damn question!” The man yelled
out to her.
    “It is,” Jacky stutters as she responds with
fear.
    “To slaughter little fat kids like you, it
sure is a great day.” As the man in the dark room scratches against
something not very clear yet.
    “Maybe we can have some fun first?” The man
asked with a high pitched evil giggle.
    “Please don’t hurt me,” Jacky said screaming,
as she starts crying.
    The man moves quickly slapping her hard
through the face.
    “Scream on more time, and you will die here!”
The man’s voice sounds extremely angry now, still shortly after he
started to giggle, the same evil giggle as before.
    “Please let me go, please let me go,” Jacky
asked crying softly, stuttering out her words silently, trying hard
to avoid angering this man.
    “Ok, I will let you go no worries this is
just a game,” the man said calmly.
    “Really, I can really go?” Jacky asked with
excitement, the man start giggling and scream out to her.
    “No I was just joking!” He continues giggling
loudly as he starts to laugh.
    Jacky clearly knowing this man is sick and
unstable, mentally ill and psychotic and no one will know how far
he will go to harm someone. Jacky knows she must remain silent and
just be calm until an opportunity present itself, it’s hard but she
knows she can look past the fear and do this the right way also
knowing there might not even be a right way.
    It’s been hours, why is no one trying to find
me, where is my sister, Jacky still trying extremely hard not to
cry, she doesn’t understand why this have to happen to her, why is
he so quiet? Why isn’t he saying something, might it be that he is
sleeping? I might give it a try and move around a little and maybe
if he is sleeping then make my way to the door, I have to try, now
or never.
    Jacky starts to move around roughly trying to
make extra noise just to see if he will respond, she continues to
move around and then it was clear that this man was sleeping, he
has to be. It’s extremely hard to tell since its way to dark to see
in this room, she prepares herself fast and starts moving closer to
the door, she is half way and happy that she is almost there, it’s
very silent in this room making the stress even more. Being fat she
slightly falls forward she can almost touch the door and her hopes
is sky rocketing that she can do this.
    Jacky hear footsteps moving fast towards her
and before she can say anything she feels this hard painful kick to
the ribs, knocking out some of her breath in the process as well,
it’s a crushing blow, she can feel that one or several ribs might
be broken, it is pounding with pain.
    The man laughs out loud before he starts
talking to her.
    “Did you really think it will be that easy?
Do you think I am stupid? You are the stupid one to think I won’t
see you!” The man said screaming.
    “Stop, please stop!” Jacky yells, the man
moves her top up and before he could do anything else his
walkie-talkie goes off.
    “Are you done, do you have both girls?” The
man asked over the walkie-talkie.
    “No not yet.” Sighing as he replies to
him.
    “You better hurry up then, he is here and we
will need them to negotiate for their supplies” As the man replies
angrily on the other end.
    “Yes ok I will do it now damn it” The man in
the room starts getting sarcastic and angry with himself, Jacky
isn’t up for moving around it hurts way too much for her to even
sit up straight, she fears this man even more, as she knows they
are talking about her sister and her father, they are raiders they
only want the supplies.
    “Roy show me some respect damn it!” The man
said, shouting.
    Roy is his name he doesn’t respond, he
