When I woke up I was in a strange place there were lights all around me, at first I was a bit confused about what was happening then it all came back to me. I wondered what in God’s name they were going to do to me next. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see what was going […]
It doesn’t matter how strong you think you are but there are some forms of torture that will make you confess sins that you did when you were a child. For some people it could be a couple of slaps for some it could be the threat of being thrown off the 10th floor of a building, […]
I don’t think there is a greater embarrassment that being arrested at the airport in front of hundreds of people. Yes they might be strangers but the fact of the matter is once you get arrested in the airport the first thing that people think, is that you are getting arrested for drug possession or […]
If there is one thing I hate it’s fainting, there is so much time that in unaccounted for, precious valuable time that you will never ever get back and for some reason I am one of those people who faint easily. I tried opening my eyes and all I could see was white all around […]
We all cried so loudly that the guards outside thought something was happening to us, they came rushing into the house, guns drawn out and onc we say saw the guns we all went quiet and lifted our hands up in surrender. I don’t know why we did that but it was as if some automatic button […]

We’ve been chased by thugs before with guns, chased by people that we didn’t know, chased by my husband’s frenemies chased by police and this has all been on the ground, by a four wheeled vehicle. Being chased by police who were air-borne was all a new thing for us, as scary as it was it […]
