The Movie - Genre Horror- Rated R Everything was a blur. My eyes opened slowly and the room was spinning around and around and around. My head was pounding. I began to throw up, and I tried to get on my knees, but I couldn't move. I tried to focus my eye's to see what was going on, but I got dizzy and passed back out. The next thing I remember was waking up. My wrists were duct taped to the arms of an old wooden chair. My ankles, and stomach were taped to the legs and back rest. I was securely fastened and couldn't move. I twisted and turned and wiggled hard, trying to break the tape, but it was never going to happening. Whoever put me here, didn't want me escaping. I could see clearer now, and the throbbing in my head had stopped. I was covered in puke and sweat. What's happening I thought? Where am I? The last thing I remember was leaving the bar with Lou and some local cuties from the college. I left home for work early Friday morning. I picked up Lou on the way. Lou was my partner. He was the brains of our little business. We headed to the college to see if we could recruit some hot young models for our new movie. We were a couple of small time pornographers. There were always a few girls to be found, willing to work for us, at the schools. They needed the money for tuition and books. Plus, we paid them very well for their services. This past year however, the willing pool, had become very lean. It was as if everyone had had a morals lesson or something. Today was the same. There were no takers. Every line we used to lure the girls in, fell on deaf ears. We are gonna starve Lou, I said. Don't be silly said Lou. Besides, I have a great Idea how to con a few freshman, into working for us for free. For free, I exclaimed! Nobody works for free, especially doing the perverted things we want them to do. You just leave it all to me he said. We left the school grounds and headed into town. You see that bar there, Lou asked, pointing to an old run down dive on the corner. Yea I see it I said, what about it? Lots of first year students hang out here on Friday and Saturday nights. We will come and party with them, get them drunk and they will beg to star in our movies. What if they don't I asked him? Then said Lou, we will drug them and force them to do it. I don't know Lou I said, that sounds pretty sleazy to me. Sleazy he replied, who are you. Look what we do for a living. Yes I said but we have never forced anyone before. Come on said Lou, we always pick the ones with daddy issues, and who have no money. We take advantage of the weak and naive, what could be sleazier than that he said. But you're talking kidnapping I told him. Grow up said Lou. Are you in this with me or not. I thought for a second. Lou always seemed to know just what to do to make us money. Yea, alright I said, but no one get's hurt. Of course not Lou said. It sounded like he was being sarcastic. But I knew he would never physically hurt any one, I mean, he hasn't this far, and we've been together for a really long time now. Alright then, he said with an evil grin on his face, we'll come back tonight. We spent the rest of the day renting a big black limousine, and buying some roofies in another town. And, we tried to pick up a few wanna be stars, but once again, found none willing. When night fall came, we headed back to the bar. We sat at a table, and Lou began flashing around, whatever money we had left. He bought round after round for the entire bar. The place was loaded with college kids. A lots of girls were hanging by Lou and I. We used all our usual magical lies and deceit, but still, not one little hunny was interested in making some fast cash. No one wanted to be a star, and mostly, they didn't want to do porn. Not with Lou and I anyway. It was getting late and the funds were beginning to get low. We wasted all the money we had left I thought. Lou looked at me and loudly proclaimed, one more round for everyone. Cheers bellowed all around the bar. Lou leaned over to me and said, you know what to do. I was a bit afraid but Lou was the boss. As the bartender set down the drinks, I put the roofies in the drinks of five girls we had picked earlier, to be in our new movie. Lou didn't want any guys for this one. He said it was our time to shine, we would star in our own show. After about fifteen minutes, when the drugs started kicking in, Lou whispered in the ears of the five girls we wanted. Wanna go to a real party he said, our limo is right out front? Three of the girls were game. The other two said no. Lou walked to the door like a Sven golly, with three of the hottest girls ever, willingly following behind him. He opened the limo door like a gentleman, and they climbed right in. I went to get in too, and Lou said, not so fast. We still have two more he said. But they said no I reminded him. He went back inside and told the other two girls, that one of the others got sick outside. When they came out the door we grabbed them, and forced them into the back seat with the others. It was easy because the roofies had really begun to work. Or so I thought. Lou hopped into the drivers seat, and I into the other side. I looked in the back seat, and the girls were all asleep. Heh Heh Heh laughed Lou. They are mine now he said. Our small makeshift studio was a small abandoned warehouse right at the edge of town. It was a quiet desolate place. No one would ever come out there, so it was a safe place to shoot our movie. I suddenly felt woozy, and Lou began to weave back and forth all over the road. I woke up. I looked around me in the dark. I couldn't see much, but I knew this wasn't our studio. I have never seen this place before. And where was Lou? I must have been drugged I thought. How else could I have ended up in this chair. I remembered feeling woozy, and Lou's losing control of the car. Yes I thought, we were both drugged. But by who? I had the drugs. I gave them to the girls. Where was Lou I wondered. Lou, I whispered a bit loud, hoping he was inside the room and would here me, but I got no response. I tried again to break free from the tape holding me tight in the chair. I heard a noise. I stopped struggling and listened. Someone was in the room with me, but I could not see them. Then I heard him gagging and throwing up. Lou I said again, is that you? Yes Ken, it's me. Where are you? I can't see you I said. I'm on the floor by the wall, where are you he replied? I'm duct taped to this damn chair I said, come and cut me loose. Cut you loose he said, first I need someone to be cut loose. You're taped up too I asked him? No he said, I am hogtied with rope. Lou was a big man. I guess whoever had us, thought the tape might not hold him. They were probably right. I had seen him go into fits of rage and break things I couldn't even lift. He was strong, and a real maniac when he got angry. I always had the knack to keep him calm. I heard an engine revving up somewhere outside. My chair suddenly slid about a foot back, and the room seemed to lift up in the front of me. I heard Lou's body go thud against the wall. What was that asked Lou? Damned if I know I said, it felt like the whole room moved. In a few minutes the room leveled back out. I could hear the low drone of the engine now running steady. We must be in some kind of cargo truck I said to Lou. I don't think it's a truck he replied, I think we are on a boat. A boat I said, why on earth would we be on a boat? Why would we be on a truck said Lou. That's a good question I said. Where are we going? Who has done this to us, and what do they want. After a few minutes I realized Lou was right. We were on a boat. I could feel the slight rocking sensation. It must be a fairly large boat I thought, because it was not bouncing up and down or side to side like the small ones do. It felt more like the cruise ship I had been on with my wife, when we were first married. It was our honeymoon trip. She divorced me a year later, because she thought I was cheating on her with one of the models. Lou, I said, who do you think is responsible for this? One minute we had our girls, the next we are captive on some dirty stinking boat, heading god knows where. What are they gonna do with us. Lou didn't answer, he must have passed back out. I sat in the dark, quiet and afraid. I tried to put the pieces together but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe the girls switched our drinks. Maybe they somehow knew what we were planning to do with them. Maybe I thought, another producer wanted us out of the way, so he could make the movies. My mind was imagining all kinds of possible plots against Lou and I. None seemed to make much sense. The girls couldn't have known, and we were too small for a takeover, it was just Lou and me. We sold the movies on the street in the city, one at a time, and for pennies. We had no production lines, or warehouses full of tapes. Just Lou and I, and what ever girls we could corrupt. The more innocent the better. Those kind of movies seemed to sell the fastest. I sat there for hours thinking, and the drone of the engine and the slow steady rocking, must have put me to sleep. KEN! Ken wake up, shouted Lou. The engine has stopped. My eyes opened, it was light enough to see. We were in the hold of a boat. There were some crates and other cargo, and a lot of fishing equipment all around us. I could see Lou. He was tied up alright. He was wrapped like a mummy from his neck to just below his knees with rope. He looked like a sausage laying on the floor. Come on Ken Lou said, you can break loose. That's only tape holding you. I tried again hard. I twisted around and pushed out my gut. I tried to loosen my arms too, but it was useless. Use your feet said Lou. Push them hard on the floor. Surely the force will tear the tape. With all the strength I had, I jammed both feet down onto the floor, the chair lifted and flipped over backwards, and my my head smashed hard onto the floor. I woke up, and I was on the deck of the boat, still taped to my chair. It was sunset. The boat wasn't as big as what I had expected. It was a large fishing trawler. There standing on the deck in front of me, were the two girls we forced into the car. Well look who's awake one of them said. Where's Lou I yelled, what did you do with him. Don't worry about your nasty pal, he is feeding the fish. What do you mean I asked? She looked toward the side of the boat. I cringed at the thought. I looked in that same direction and there was Lou. Still tied like a sausage and dangling from a cable attached to a wench. One girl was on the controls, lowering him into the water, and back out again. The other went to the side and began dumping in buckets of chum. Chum is chopped up fish parts, used to attract other fish. Help me screamed Lou. He was hanging from a hook and his feet hit the water first. His legs were exposed. They would be eaten while he was awake to feel the pain. I couldn't bear to watch. Why I asked the girl? Why? Why? She barked. You two scumbags tried to hurt us and our friends. We told you we did not want to be whores in your perverted movies, and you tried to kidnap us and force us into it anyway. We saw you slip the pills into our drinks. While you pigs were fooling with the other girls, we traded glasses with you. We got into the car very easily don't you think. I thought it was the pills, I said. Yea well it wasn't she said. We made our own plan. This is my fathers boat. You two low life's have made your last movie. It's the end for you both. Lou screamed as his feet entered the water. NOOOO NOOOO stop he yelled. I turned away. It was to gruesome to watch. Don't turn away said the girl with the chum. Watch closely. This is our movie and it will be a best seller, and without sex and porn. When the sharks Finnish with this one, you're next. She walked over to me with a hook in her hand. She tied it to the top of the chair so they could hook me to the wench when my turn came. I'm sorry I cried, I'm sorry. It's too late for sorry's now she said. You will pay. Who know's how many girls and their families lives you have destroyed, bringing them into such a horrible life style. You are right I said. You are right. Let me go and I swear I will make amends to everyone I ever hurt. Oh you'll make amends alright, she said, better make your piece with god. The other girl had Lou up and out of the water again. He was screaming and crying deliriously. His right foot was gone and his blood was pouring out into the water fast. We don't need any more chum now, said the girl on the controls. She seemed amused as she watched. Down he went again. Sharks were on his other leg before he hit the water. His blood curdling screams were making me dizzy and sick. She brought him up again. The rope, where his knees used to be, was now twirling off the rest of his body. Down he went again. She continued this until he was dead, then the other girl took a knife and cut the rope. Lou's lifeless body fell into the water with a splash, and the sharks were on him in a feeding frenzy. He was gone in seconds. The girls then turned their attention to me. The girl at the controls said, hook him up Marilyn. The girl called Marilyn walked the line over to me and tied it to the hook on my chair. Please NO, Marilyn I begged! Don't do it I cried. Hmmm, she said,I remember saying NO to you last night, did you listen to me then? It was Lou I screamed, it was Lou. I looked at the girls as my chair was lifted into the air, and out over the water. I am sorry I said. I truly am. You are sorry alright said Marilyn. Lower his ass to the sharks Jill. Jill was the girl at the controls. I feel sorry for this one, Jill said, he seems kid of nice. Yea said Marilyn, just how nice would he have been if you and I drank their poison. You'd be singing a different song right now. I know said Jill laughing, as she hit the down button and slowly lowered me to the waiting sharks. I could see their teeth, and mouths open, snapping hard at the air, as I came closer to the water. Jill pushed the up button, and then back down teasing them. And me. My heart was racing and I was numb. I was so scared I couldn't even cry or beg for mercy. Down he goes said Marilyn. Jill hit the down button and my legs were on fire. The sharks rip them to shreds. I couldn't scream. Then down to my neck I went. It was over in seconds. Marilyn took her knife, and once again cut the rope. The chair and I drifted in the current being devoured by the wild sharks. The director hollered CUT. That's a wrap folks. Great job everyone. Pack it up, and be back on the set tomorrow at sun up. Hey said Lou, you girls wanna go grab a cold beer? Sure said Marilyn and Jill. I'm coming too I said, wait for me. We went back to the bar where filmed the abduction scene last night. After we all ordered our drinks, Lou looked at me smiling and said, Hey Ken, you have the pills?
