The young woman woke, terrified, and blindfolded as the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. She could hear sleet and rain pattering on the body of the car.

She heard the door shut and lay helpless on a pile of hay, covered by smelly blankets. Tears seeped from her eyes and froze on her face. She wished she were dead.
