They retied my hands to the bar above, my weight split between it and the rod. A dog collar choked my neck, chained to the wall. Too weak to fight, I hung there. Naree stacked sports bras on me - pink, blue, green - until I looked girly in the mirror, a twisted sissy.

They'd hose me down sometimes - cold, shocking - then tie me back, shivering.

Weeks blurred - maybe a month. My arms ached, my ass burned, my neck throbbed. Fed scraps - rice, mango - shoved under the gag. I hated myself: Why did I steal? The mirror showed a shell - Somchai was gone.
