All right, now what?

It had been three hours since Helen escaped from her kidnapper's cabin. She was
lost  in  the  middle  of  the  Amazon rainforest. Two days before, she and her
friends  Marney  and  Kelly  arrived  here  in Columbia to have a nice relaxing
vacation  in  Kartahenia  by  the coast. While her friends were swimming at the
beach,  she  decided to work on her tan and lied down on her towel. After lying
there  for  twenty  minutes,  a young Colombian boy walked over and grabbed her
purse.  Helen  jumped up and ran after him in her bikini and chased him back up
to  the  road.  The kid turned down an alley and kept going. When Helen rounded
the corner, two men came out of a doorway and grabbed her. Helen struggled with
them trying to break free when one of them hit her over the head with a club.

When  Helen  came  to  she  found herself tied to a chair and rag tied over her
mouth.  She could see the two men getting into a small white car out the window
she  was  looking  at. Her bikini was gone and she felt pain in her crotch. She
had  been  raped and was taken away from Kartahenia to the rainforest. When she
saw  the  car  pull  away,  Helen  could  feel that the ropes holding her hands
weren't  that  tight. She started to move her hands back and forth and then one
of the loops around her wrists slipped off her hands. Her hands could move even
more now and she found the knot on the rope. Using her fingernails, she started
to  pick and pull at it. Then all at once the knot was loose enough and Helen's
hands  were  free.  There  was  still  a rope that was holding her waist to the
chair. She reached in back and found that knot and undid it. The rope was loose
and  Helen  stood up. She pulled the rag out of her mouth and dropped it on the
floor  and  took a look at her surroundings. It was an old beat up cabin and it
looked  as if no one had lived here for the past eighty years. Then she saw the
door  and walked to it. She looked outside and saw no one around. Thinking that
her captors may come back up the road, Helen decided her best bet was to find a
way out in the rainforest.

That  was  three hours ago and the sun was now right above her. She guessed she
must have already been there for at least a day. She was hungry and thirsty and
weak  from all the walking. Then Helen came up to a small pond in the middle of
the forest and ran over to it. Not caring what bacteria was in the water, Helen
kneeled  down  and  began  to sip the water. It was cool and soothing and Helen
felt a little better now. She dunked her head in the pond and shook it back and
forth,  letting  the water cool off her hot head. She came back out and whipped
her  blonde  hair  back. The water dripped off her hair and down her naked body
giving her goose bumps and making her nipples rock solid.

After  her  short shower, Helen walked over to a large tree and sat against it.
She  began  to  go  over  her  predicament.  She was in the middle of a strange
country  lost  in  the  rainforest,  she  was  naked,  had  been raped, and her
passport,  wallet and money was all gone. The only words that came to mind were
'All  right,  now  what?'  Helen began to break down crying. She wished she was
back  in  Sacramento, back home with her boyfriend. She ended up crying herself
to  sleep.  She  dreamed that she was walking through the door of her apartment
and  her  boyfriend  John  was  there waiting for her. She could feel his hands
touching  and  caressing  her  body,  feeling her up and down. His arms wrapped
around  her  body and pinned her arms to her sides and squeezing her tight. But
she couldn't feel his mouth kissing her in the dream. Thats when she opened her
eyes and let out a terrified scream from what she saw.

While  she  was asleep, a sixteen-foot long python had coiled itself around her
torso  and its eyes were looking right at hers. Using the tree for support, she
stood  up as fast as she could and ran through the forest as fast as she could.
With  every  breath  she took, the python tightened its grip on her. The excess
weight  caused  her  to have a hard time running and the python didnt feel like
having its meal on the run. In the span of a millisecond, the python lashed out
and  bit  Helen in the cheek. Helen shrieked in pain and couldnt avoid tripping
over a large tree root sticking out of the ground.

Her  landing  was  a  soft  one  in  some mud next to the pond she drank out of
before.  She  started  rolled  onto  her  stomach and got on her knees, the mud
underneath her legs shifted and her butt sank down in the mud. She tried to get
on  her  feet,  but  the  movement  plus  the pythons weight made her settle in
deeper. Her legs were extended now, but she could feel no bottom of the mud and
to  make matters worse she was still sinking. The quicksand under her had risen
over  her  stomach  and  three  of  the  pythons coils disappeared with it. Her
breasts were sticking out between two of its coils and she could only scream as
she  watched  them  sink  under  the  quicksand. While she screamed though, the
python  tightened  its  grip on her and she could feel that she could no longer
suck  in  any  more  air.  Gasping  for  a breath, her body started to convulse
causing  the  last  coil and her shoulders to disappear under the mud. Her life
was  flashing  before her eyes while she looked to the sky for any last hope of
anyone  helping  her.  Then  her  mouth  filled  up with quicksand and she went
totally  limp.  The  top  of  her head and the python's snout were dragged down
below  the  surface at the same time. After the rest of her blonde hair slipped
below  the  surface,  the  bog was still again. The python killed Helen and the
quicksand buried her and the python together.
