Hour Is Forever — Ethel Blackledge

"This is the third time she's run away...we'll have to keep the gate locked."

You bump into a handsome stranger.
He asks you out for a drink.
One thing leads to another.
Three weeks later you are married.
He takes you to his house in the country.
It is surrounded by a high wire fence.
The gates close behind you.
His demeanor changes.
He is no longer the laughing, fun-loving husband.
His family calls you by another name, as if they knew you already.
Then they lock you in a padded cell.
You find a photo.
It shows a woman engulfed by flames.
Terror races through your body.
You hear screams.
The voice is your own.
The woman in the picture, the woman in flames, is YOU!
