   Logan the rental agent entered the old property on Lake Street expecting this to be another good day. The building was ready for occupancy yet, but Logan always liked to get a good look at the property before he brought any clients around. So Logan was still kind of digesting his first cup of coffee while he walked through the silent hallways.

All of a sudden Logan was surprised to see someone else in the hallway. It was kind of a strange looking guy who had a big ugly stick in his hand. “Who are you?”

“Who do the voodoo?” the strange man chattered and waved his ugly stick in the air. “I do the voodoo.” The strange man pointed his ugly stick at Logan and—

The next thing Logan knew he was sitting on a bed in some bedroom with no clear knowledge of how he came to be here. And then Logan discovered that his hands were tightly tied behind his back. “Hey! What the hell is going on here?” Logan cried out, but all of his words were muffled and garbled by a thick band of cloth that was tied between his teeth.

Logan closed his eyes and then opened them again slowly, hoping that maybe this was all a dream. But when Logan opened his eyes again, he was still all alone in the bedroom and he began to panic. He had to get out of here! But when he tried to stand up he discovered that both of his feet were tied close together. He couldn't run anywhere that way.

And then something else began to bother Logan. It was really quiet in this room; spooky quiet like maybe there wasn't anyone outside the room, or maybe there wasn't even any building outside this room. Maybe he was now trapped in some kind of crazy limbo! That was really scary and Logan knew that he had to get out of here somehow. So then he began rolling around on the bed, straining his arms against the tight rope, and tonguing the thick roll of cloth inside his mouth, but there was no getting away.

And then the door opened.

Logan looked up from the bed and watched with disbelieving eyes while that same strange man danced into the room, waving is ugly stick in the air. “Don't think you're going nowhere,” the strange man laughed at Logan. No, no, you're going to be here until I tell you to go.”

Logan didn't like the sound of that and he began shaking his head from side to side and made slobbering sounds into his gag, but the strange man just laughed in his strange way and then hopped up to sit down next to Logan on the bed. “Hey Man, don't you know who I be? I am the Voodoo Man.”

Logan almost laughed. There was no such thing as voodoo.

Suddenly the Voodoo Man stopped smiling and he shoved the head of his ugly stick up under Logan’s chin. “You think I'm fooling with you? You don't fool with the voodoo! With the voodoo I can make your head shrink oh so small. Or sometimes the voodoo can make those other parts of you grow so big. You want to see?”

Logan backed away as far as he could from that ugly stick and choked and gagged on the soggy cloth that was stuffing up his mouth. The Voodoo Man had crazy eyes and a crooked smile and now Logan was beginning to believe he just might be magical.

“Turn over there, I don't want to see your sunny side no more,” the Voodoo Man commanded with a wave of his ugly stick.

Logan’s bound body began turning over all by itself without even asking Logan if that was okay. And then Logan felt the Voodoo Man moving closer to him so that he could corral Logan’s socked feet into his strange hands.

“Hey man, you got the tickles?” the Voodoo Man chuckled.

Logan squeaked loudly into his gag and twisted his head violently from side to side while he begged mentally “No please, don't tickle me!”

Then poor Logan kept his face buried in the blankets and tried to stop his body from trembling while he felt the Voodoo Man pulled up his bound feet and wrapping them up in more tight rope. And he only whimpered a little when the Voodoo Man then pulled his arms back and used more rope to bind Logan’s wrists to his bound ankles so that the whole weight of his legs was pulling back on his arms.

That really hurt so Logan began to moan and beg into his gag, but the Voodoo Man ignored the pain Logan was in as he moved closer to his new friend and began to lightly stroke his trussed body.

“Now, now, this is no time for the sadness. We are going to be taking you to a happy place.”

Logan gasped sadly into his gag. He didn't want to be taken anywhere.

“My island is very peaceful,” the Voodoo Man reassured Logan. “Soon you will be a different man there. Now you should XXXX.”

The Voodoo Man began to lightly stroke his ugly stick over Logan’s hair and Logan’s eyelids began to get heavier and heavier, and soon Logan’s former life was slipping away into the darkness.

THE END.
