Victim Number Thirty Two

I awaken, cold and groggy
Not sure if I'm dreaming 
It's dark, feel something in my mouth 
Words won't form, I cannot speak
Just muffled grunts
Wait, I'm gagged, blindfolded
Can feel feet and hands tied
I hear feet shuffling towards me              
I smell the stale smell of unwashed clothes
The heavy odor of tobacco fills my nostrils. 
No words are spoken
But then I hear steel on steel of 
A knife on a sharpener
It stops . The feet shuffle closer but at a slower pace
Like time spent here was important to this monster.
The beast grabs my hair and tilts my head back.
Heart is racing , body quaking
I feel cold steel again my throat
And the last sound I hear, "your next."

Wow, my heart paced as if I was the victim. I appreciate this poem. Sometimes I want to read twisted poems, of the writer describing a moment so sterile, he/she's not going nowhere after they realize it's their final moment. I'm going to read this one again, only because terror and a creepy voice saying" your next" fit my needing of wanting a dark and twisted end. Lol.... Love Linda (this gives me a great idea)
