Trapped. A simple word that described the life I'm living. I had no choice. In order to save my family I would have to be trapped with him. Him. His 5 letter name made me cower in fear. I hated every second spent with him, but I loved every second I've spent with my family. The small family of my mom, my brother, and me. We were the Johnson's. An all American family. We didn't have any traditions expect Christmas.

"Ally what do you think?" I heard a voice ask me snapping me out of my thoughts. I realized the voice belonged to my best friend Cali.

"About what?" I asked.

"It seems you're always daydreaming. Jessica and I were asking if you wanted to take a trip to the lake this weekend?" She spoke mentioning my other best friend Jessica.

    I lift my hips in encouragement and feel his every stroke land in the deepest part of my belly. He shifts forward, because he knows my body also, and swirls his hips, eliciting a long, low moan from me. He releases my hands to capture my breasts, pausing the ramming of his hips against mine to suck on them hard, pinching the skin and biting the tender swells. When he showers my shoulders and neck with kisses and love bites, I grasp and pull him into me. "Ugh, Jim, make me…"…

    Indian Captivity Narrative Analysis

    In Indian Captivity Narratives, typically a white woman, who is of European descent, is kidnapped and held captive by American Indians who consider her to be uncivilized and of the wrong beliefs. These narratives, which typically are autobiographical, capture the interest of readers and create reactions of shock, empathy, and inspiration. Narratives as such anticipate popular fiction, especially romance, and prefigure gothic literature with the “depictions of Indian as dark, hellish, cunning, and unpredictable” (Campbell, 2015). One of the more popular captivity narratives was based on Mary White Rowlandson and her eleven-week captivity. Mary White, later known as Mary White Rowlandson, was born in 1637 in Somerset, England.…
