I couldn't move at all I could hear the kids laughing and joking, but I couldnt so much as turn my head. One of the twins was sitting on the floor near me. The terrifying thought came to me that perhaps he would notice my plight and try to help by pulling at me I wanted to Stay away! shout But Unplug me1 my voice was frozen within Oh Lord, dont let me die this way.
