Personal Narrative: A Short Story

I wash up, get dressed, and see that the door to my room has been unlocked. Slowly, I creep out the door looking to see anyone is outside the door. As I walk down the hallway I see several photos of my kidnapper and what I assume to be Katherine. I stop at one photo where Katherine and he are posed together. I study her features. I see her long brunette hair, her deep sea blue eyes, and ostentatious smile. She looks like me. She looks like what I used to be. I can’t help but remember what that felt like. I want to feel that again. I just want to be happy. I want my family together again. As I continue to walk down the hallway, it eventually leads me to the living room and kitchen. I notice that everything is very bland, and there aren’t many

I have never been so miserable. I miss my family. I miss my old life. Every time I look in the mirror I look less and less like me. My skin is pale like the life has drained out of my body.

He doesn’t allow me to go outside, so I told him to put windows in the house so I could at least get a better look outside. On the other hand, I found out a lot of information about Katherine. When he would leave the house I would go into his office and read all the information I could find. Her name is Katherine Elizabeth Porter. She is twenty eight years old. She is veterinarian and she also volunteers at an animal shelter. It doesn’t mention where she currently lives. She sounds perfect. I can’t imagine what she has been through. The abuse and isolation he put her through. No wonder she ran away. I need to get out of here, but I don’t know how. I’ve been here for three week and I haven’t found one lick of information about him. No name, no background information, no anything. I’ve searched every inch of this house and all I have area old pictures of him and Katherine. What is he hiding? I wake up the next morning and I go down to eat
