# They Came for Me Again
They came for me again. After the first time, I told myself I would be ready; I was wrong.
I was in the shower, rinsing the shampoo from my hair when the lights went dark. My first thought was the bulb had died. Quickly I finished rinsing off and reached out, fumbling in the dark for a towel.
A hand grabbed my wrist; the fingers were like iron. I tried to pull away, but it was too late. The sharp prick of a needle jabbing me in the arm was the last thing I felt before darkness took me.
I awoke, unable to move. As my head cleared, I realized I was on my knees; my body bent forward until my forehead rested on the ground. My head was still swimming from whatever was in the needle; I didn’t realize I was naked until the sharp sting of a slap on my bare ass cleared the mental fog.
