Generations – Selfie Snatching
The teenager
He dumped me –
he just dumped me, and he dumped me by text?
The sheer bloody cheek…
I was at home,
supposedly working on my History project, but I had been worried about Tony for
a few days – he had not been as open as he was with me, so not a lot of work
was been done. So there I was, white
t-shirt, faded jeans, knee length black leather boots, looking at the screen
when the message came through.
I was too
shocked to cry, as I stared at my phone screen – but I was angry, as I threw it
down onto the bed and stood up, grabbing my leather jacket and putting it on
before I sat back on my bed and picked up my phone again. I looked again at the message, wondering if I
had the guts to show him in a reply exactly how I felt.
But then I had
a better idea, as I looked at myself in my full length mirror, the reflection
of my pink wall and hangings making me smile.
“Fuck him,” I thought to myself as I picked up the phone, and then at
myself, my long dark hair hanging loose.
I’d show him what he was going to miss instead, as I looked at myself
again, and then took a selfie, before I sent it to him with the words “your
fucking loss.”
“Well, that’s
nice – you’ve done part of my job for me.”
I looked up
suddenly at the man who was standing in my doorway, casually dressed – but
wearing black gloves, a small holdall in one of his gloved hands, and a gun in
the other.
“Who…”
“You may have
heard of me in the media – they like to call me the Selfie Snatcher,” he said
with a smile, “and today, it’s your turn to come with me. You’ve taken your selfie – very considerate,
but now it’s my turn.” He smiled as he
said “stand up, turn round, hands behind your back.”
He was a
charmer – but he also had a gun, so I put my phone down, and turned round,
noticing as he put the bag down and removed from it a length of rope. I watched to the side as he crossed my wrists,
and then used the rope to secure them together – and he did a good job of it,
as I felt the rope around and between my wrists, and he tied it off out of
reach of my fingers.
“So what
happens now,” I said as I turned round and looked at him.
“Now – you open
your mouth, nice and wide,” he said. I
really didn’t have a choice, so I did as he asked, as he took a folded white
cloth from a clear bag and pushed it into my mouth, filling it and pressing my
tongue down as I closed my lips over it.
He then took a wide roll of clear tape, tore a strip off and pressed it
over my mouth, but he did it carefully, almost – gently.
When I looked
in the mirror again, I could barely see the tape, as he picked up his bag and
said “I’ll contact your parents later, but let’s take a little walk, shall
we?” I nodded as he took my arm, after
he had put the gun in his jacket pocket, and we slowly walked down the stairs,
towards the front door…
“Jess, are you
going out? Who is…”
The Mother
When I got home from my trip to the
shopping centre, I opened the front door and went in without a care in the
world. I was casually dressed – a fawn
leather jacket over a scoop necked white t-shirt, black leggings and knee
length black leather boots zipped up the inside. I hadn’t seen anything I liked, but I could
hear Jess upstairs, and a boy talking, so I assumed her boyfriend was round.
Given that, I went into the kitchen and
put the kettle on, putting a teabag in a cup and then adding the hot water. That was when I heard the footsteps, and went
out to the hallway, expecting to see Jess and her boyfriend going out.
Well, it was Jess – but it wasn’t her
boyfriend, it was a complete stranger to me.
They both had their back to me, but when I said “Jess, are you going
out? Who is…” he turned round and smiled at me – and I saw
that Jess had her wrists tied behind her back with rope. She then turned and looked at me, her eyes
wide open as she looked between us – and I saw something was covering her mouth.
“Is this your mother,” the young man
said, and as Jess nodded he looked at me.
I could only
look at Mum as she stared at both of us, wondering what he was going to do
now. The last thing I wanted was her to
get hurt…
I looked again
at him as he smiled, and then took the gun out of his pocket, before he said
“well, I think she may have to come with us – keep you company, if you
like. So, tell me dear lady, are you
going to do anything to raise the alarm?”
He was kidnapping Jess? That was when I remembered the newspaper
reports – a young man who kidnapped women for a day or two, after making them
take a selfie of themselves. I looked at
them as I said “are you the Selfie Snatcher,” and as he nodded I saw Jess sigh
and nod as well.
Now, since Jess’ father had gone off, I
had been missing something, excitement, whatever you want to call it – and I
still don’t know why this happened, but I looked at him, and I said “take me as
well.”
“Mhhmmm?”
Jess was staring at me as the young man
smiled, and said “why?”
“Jess’ father is long gone – there is
nobody except my mother, and she won’t pay a ransom. But take us both, and let us go in a day or
two, and I’ll make it worth your while.”
Jess was still staring at me as he
looked me up and down, and then he said “get your phone – you need to take a
selfie of yourself first.”
What was Mum
playing at? I watched as she went back
into the kitchen, and returned with her own phone, posing as she took a picture
of herself while the Snatcher took some more rope from his bag,
“Very good –
put the phone somewhere, and then put your hands behind your back,” he said as
he doubled the rope over. Mum smiled at
me, and said “it’ll be an adventure” as she threw her phone onto a chair in the
front room, and then turned round, crossing her wrists behind her back.
I couldn’t believe I was doing this, as
I felt the rope pulling my wrists together, and looked over my shoulder as he
wrapped the rope round several times, and then split the lengths and took them
between my wrists, making it even tighter.
I wriggled my fingers as he tied the rope off, and then turned round as
he took a piece of cloth from the bag.
“Open your mouth.”
I nodded and did that, tasting the
cotton on my tongue as he pushed it in, and then closed my lips over it as he
tore some clear tape from a roll, and then pressed it firmly over my lips. I looked at myself in the mirror, my own long
dark hair over the shoulders of my jacket, and nodded as he said “so, why don’t
you both…”
So, of course we both looked at the
front door as it opened…
The grandmother
I had been at my old
people’s group, and I had meant to go straight home, but as I was walking past
the house I saw the grey van parked outside, and wondered what was been
delivered, so I walked up the garden path, opened the door, walked in – and
discovered something very different indeed.
Mum was looking at us, her long black
coat fastened tightly with her black boots visible underneath, and her copper
blonde hair. She stood there for a
moment, before she looked at the young man and said “are you taking my family
hostage?”
“I am,” he said with a smile before he
said the words I didn’t want to hear.
“What are you going to do about it?”
Looking from my daughter
to my granddaughter, I wasn’t sure what to think. Their arms were behind their backs, and I
presume were secured in some way, but that was the only thing. It too me a few
minutes to realise something was covering their mouths as well.
And given what I had been
doing earlier that morning, something was stirring in me as well. I had been trying to find a way to tell them
what I was doing, but somehow it never came out – but this…
I looked at the young man,
and said “you need to take me as well, or I am going to raise the alarm.”
“GRRNNNNN!” I was shocked, and I could see Mum was surprised
as well, but she closed the door, turned round, and put her hands behind her
back as she said “go on – do it.”
I looked at
Mum, she looked at me, and then we both watched as the Snatcher went into the
front room, took Mum’s phone and gave it to her, and then told her to take a
selfie.
Ten minutes
later, she was looking at us, smiling as he taped her lips over, her hands
behind her back, before he opened the front door and looked out onto the
street. He then said “walk normally” as
we followed him out and down the path, waiting as he opened the side door of a
grey van before he told us all to get in.
He had already closed out front door, so we all stepped in and sat on
the floor of the van, watching as one by one he crossed and tied our ankles
together with rope, and then closed the door.
When did this day start to get so
weird? I’m sitting in the back of a
transit van, my daughter on one side of me and my mother on the other, all of
us with our wrists and ankles tied, and tape over our mouths with cloth in
them, and I’m excited?
Well, this day is turning
out to be very interesting indeed. As I
wriggle my legs, I wonder how they’re going to feel about the other surprise…
When the van
stopped, we looked at each other, before the side door opened and I could see
we were in some sort of warehouse. The
Snatcher smiled as he came in, and said “well, this was an unexpected bonus of
a day. I’m going to untie your ankles,
and you will walk with me. Then I’ll
fetch you some food and drink. Nod if
you all understand.”
We looked at
each other and nodded in unison, as he untied our feet and helped us to stand
up, before we were marched in single file across to a door. As we went in, I could see four mattresses on
the floor as he said “wait here” and closed the door, locking it behind us.
I looked at Jess, and then at my mother,
before I said “Whthhllslshupphnnnhre?”
“Sfbeensnshed,”
Jess said, and then she started to laugh.
A muffled laugh, but a laugh – and what was stranger, my mother started
laughing.
And then so did I – even with the tape
and cloths, we seemed to be happy, as he came back in, pushing a trolley with
plates of sandwiches, fruit and bottles of water.
“Well, I see you’re settling in,” he
said with a smile as he untied our wrists, and left again, closing the door as
we looked at each other.
One of us had to be first,
so I reached up and peeled the clear tape away from my mouth, and then gently
pulled the cloth out, before I said “well – want to tell me what’s going on
today?”
Jess removed her own gag,
and said “he’s the Selfie Snatcher.”
“I guessed that,” I said
with a grin as her mother removed her own gag, “and?”
“He was going to take me –
then Mum stopped us…”
I looked at her, my head
to one side as she blushed.
“Okay, okay, I know this looks strange,
but come on, aren’t you both a little excited about what is going on?”
Jess looked to the side of the room,
where four nightgowns were on the floor, and said “his latest guests before
us?”
“Must be,” Mum said as she unfastened
and removed her coat, and then I saw Jess staring at her. It took me a few moments to realise why – my
mother was standing there, wearing a black PVC one piece outfit with long
sleeves, open so that the top of her chest was showing, and hot pants. Then there was the fishnet stockings – and
the over the knee black patent leather boots.
“What,” she said as she looked at us,
“you’re wearing boots as well, aren’t you?”
“Mum…”
“Gran…”
“Oh – right. Well, the group I lead each week, it’s kind
of a self-help group – we help each other to get tied up and release our
feelings in complete safety…”
Well, Mum and
Gran were really surprising me today – I looked at the trolley, and took a
bottle of water as I said “you like been tied up Gran?”
“Yes,” she said
as she picked up a sandwich, “but come on – are you both telling me you didn’t
enjoy what has happened today a little bit?” Biting into it, she looked at us
as she said “well?”
I looked at
Mum, Mum looked at me, and then we each took a sandwich as Mum said “so – what
exactly happens at your group?”
“I have the
distinct feeling we’re going to find out later,” Gran
said with a smile, “and I have the feeling you are going to enjoy it…”
“There – I trust that is not too
uncomfortable?”
I looked at myself, the ropes now
encircling my arms and chest above and below, and said “it’s not uncomfortable”
as I wriggled round, feeling the on my breasts.
He had made it really tight – the rope also went over one shoulder,
round my neck and back over the other.
I looked at Jess, who was smiling as she
moved, the ropes holding her arms and upper body tight as well, while the
Snatcher bound Mum’s arms and upper body.
Our wrists were secured behind our backs, and our fingers taped
together, but you want to know something?
As Mum sighed at the ropes been
tightened, I didn’t want to try and get free anyway.
I watched him
feed the rope under one of Gran’s arms, up and round the back of her neck, and
then under the other arm, before he tied the ends off, and smiled at all of us.
“Are you sure
you want this?”
“Do it to me
first,” Gran said, “and then let the others decide.”
I watched as he
passed a longer length of rope around Gran’s waist, and then tied a knot at her
belly, before she let the lengths of rope drop in front of her.
“What does it
fell like,” Mum asked he walked behind Gran, and then knelt down.
“You’ll see,”
she said with a smile as he reached between her legs, and pulled the rope
through and up, pressing on her as he took the ends and secured them to the
rope round her wrists. Looking at me as
he stood up, he said “well?”
“Go on – do
it.”
He took more
rope and tied it round my waist as Mum and Gran watched, and then walked behind
me, as I wondered what it would be like.
Well, it was
nothing like I had expected, as he reached between my legs and pulled the rope
up, pressing on the front of my jeans as I wriggled – and felt it moving on a
very sensitive part of me.
And all of a
sudden, I understood. I could do nothing
to stop him doing this – and right then, I didn’t want to stop him, as he made
me and Gran sit down, and we both looked at Mum.
I could see the indecision
on her face, but then she nodded, and the soft gasp as the crotch rope was tie
don her, pressing on her own leggings, told me all I needed to know – and told
me how much she was going to enjoy it later.
As she sat on the
mattress, the Snatcher knelt in front of me, and crossed me
ankles, the rope and my own boots squeaking as he secured my ankles
together. He then tied my legs together
below my knees, stroking my legs as he took the rope between them, and I
giggled.
“Having fun?”
“Oh yes – and so will
you,” I said as I looked at my daughter, and then saw her smile as her legs
were secured as well. Perhaps it was the
way the rope rubbed on her as she was twisted round…
As the Snatcher
tied my legs, I giggled like Mum and Gran – and then opened my mouth as he
pushed the sponge ball in. I could feel
it expand in my mouth, pushing my cheeks out and my tongue down as I closed my lips
over it.
It wasn’t clear
tape this time, but white tape, covering my mouth and chin as it seemed to form
to the contours of my face, sealing my lips as I looked up and nodded before he
made me lie down and turn over. I felt
him pull my ankles back, and then the pressure eon my
crotch increased as the rope was pulled back.
He’d tied my ankles to it – and as I tried to move them the rope moved,
and I started to feel faint, giddy, excited…
I watched as Jess rolled onto her side
and looked at me, a strange, glazed look in her eyes as she tried to move her
legs. As the Snatcher gagged me, I heard
Mum say “this is going to be so enjoyable for you” before I was made to lie
face down, and he pulled my ankles back.
And oh my god – the feeling as he tied
my ankles in place, and the rope rubbed between my legs as I tried to move, my
muffled squeals of delight and surprise clear as Mum looked at me.
I told then
they would enjoy it, and the look in their eyes told me I was right as he
looked at me.
“Not the first time for
you, is it?”
“No – so do your worst,
and it will be worth your while?”
He nodded before he pushed
the sponge into my mouth, taped it, and hogtied me. As he left the room, I looked at my daughter
and granddaughter, as they began to moan, and I moved myself, feeling the
wetness under my shorts as I started to bring myself on.
We were going to enjoy
this so much – and then we would have so much to share afterwards…
