Shiver
The guards dragged her down the hall so fast that she couldn't get her feet underneath her. Sliding and bumping off walls, blind and terrified, she kept struggling in hopes of gaining some control over the situation. Her eyes kept watering and the floor undulated through her tears. She heard someone cursing in a myriad of languages and realized it was her own voice that she heard. The gray walls and floors stretched on forever and her shoulder joints ached as the fingers dug further into her upper arms.
She was bounced off several more walls, right turn, left turn, before she was thrown onto hard green tile.
Before she could get her bearings and stand, she was knocked back to the floor by blasts of freezing water. Over and over she tried to stand, only to be knocked back again by the streams of cold water. Needles of cold penetrated her skin, her eyes and head felt as though they were about to explode. She was completely frozen through and continued to sputter, attempting to keep from swallowing water.
Eventually she was huddled in the corner of the room with her back to the heavy spray, teeth chattering and her muscles clenched, pulled in, trying to find warmth.
The water suddenly stopped and she instantly slumped against the wall and huddled into a ball. She heard footsteps slosh through the water towards her and she curled tightly inward. Hands reached for her and she shrank away as much as she could. Again, she was lifted and cruelly yanked from wherever she was into another green tiled room.
Sharp, ripping sounds tore through the air and cold hit her frigid skin. She began shivering violently as her clothes were torn from her body. Her skin was assaulted with hard bristle brushes, harsh detergents and leering eyes as the guards scrubbed her naked flesh. Her arms and legs were stretched straight and held firmly by a set of guards while the brushes scratched at every inch of her body. The scrubbing stopped abruptly and she was again assaulted with water; buckets full of stinging, detergent laden water.
Still naked, she was picked up and carried into another room and tossed onto a straight-backed chair. Her hands and feet were shackled to the chair and her head tilted sharply upward. The whine of electricity buzzed around her ears. She cried out as clumps of her hair fell around her as the guards shaved her head.
A wail of a wounded animal tore through the air.
After her hair lay in piles at her feet, the guards released her from the chair and threw a pile of gray-green garments at her and stared at her with hungry eyes as she shivered and tried to dress herself.
