Captured

When Maria awoke she was sure that she had slipped back into one of her nightmares.

Her head throbbed, the pain only getting worse when she opened her eyes. The reek of disinfectant assaulted her nose, trying and failing to cover up the odour of damp and rot. Harsh light beat down on her. When she lifted her hand to block out the light she found that she had been handcuffed.

The chain was long enough to let her cover her eyes but it did nothing for her mood.
