Sal's heart pounded against his chest, the rhythmic thud echoing in the confined space of his apartment room. The rough texture of the ropes dug into his skin, leaving angry red marks behind as they bound his wrists tightly behind his back. Every movement sent a jolt of pain shooting through his limbs, a stark reminder of his captivity.

Lying across his bed, Sal felt the weight of his helplessness pressing down on him. His ankles were securely tied together, rendering him immobile and at the mercy of his captor. Fear gnawed at the edges of his mind, twisting his thoughts into a tangled mess of uncertainty and dread.

The room felt suffocatingly small, the walls closing in around him as if to crush him under their weight. Sal's gaze darted around the dimly lit space, searching desperately for any means of escape. But all he found was the chilling realization that he was trapped, imprisoned by the one person he had trusted above all others.

As Sal struggled against his bonds, his mind raced with questions and doubts. How had he ended up in this nightmare? Why had his boyfriend turned against him with such ruthless intent? And most importantly, would he ever escape from this living nightmare and find his way back to safety?
