Don't Cry (2010)
“Maybe she should get up and take a couple of aspirin. But she was so sleepy she didn’t want to move. She could wake Quint and ask him to get the aspirin for her. He wouldn’t mind. He loved doing things for her. And she loved him for always being so kind and considerate.
“Quint,” she mumbled his name in her half-awake/half-asleep state.
He didn’t answer. Maybe she hadn’t actually called his name out loud.
Was she still asleep and dreaming?
She tried to turn over and found that she couldn’t. And ...when she struggled to lift her arm, intending to throw it around Quint and cuddle against his back, she discovered her arm wouldn’t move.
Her eyes flew open.
Darkness.
A pale light somewhere behind her was too weak to illuminate the room, but enough to show that she hadn’t awakened in complete darkness. She couldn’t see anything in her bedroom, but she knew where everything was. The chest, the dresser, the nightstands. But she didn’t see even the shadows of any furniture.
She tried again to move her arms and suddenly realized that she could lift her elbows only an inch or so, but no higher because her wrists were tied to something.MoreLess
