I had a night full of vague nightmares involving being tortured for information. I think the torture was being headed up by my mom for some reason. I don’t even recall if I had the information or not. I recall seeing footage of a city in Turkey being destroyed by a nuclear-style blast, but am not sure how this fits in. After days of torture, I became despondent and unresponsive and semi-catatonic. At one point I was locked outdoors for several days in a chainlink cage in the sun as my cell.

For some reason I was brought to a hair salon to get me cleaned up and it was the first time I was away from my captors. The hairdresser remarked that I looked pretty rough and asked what happened. My despondent demeanor turned into sobbing as it was the first time someone had expressed any interest in my well-being in weeks. The hairdresser just looked confused and my captor swooped in and carried me back as I was drawing too much attention.
