Jasmine has arrived home from a day out, still finishing the coffee she
bought while shopping. She sips at it as her phone rings. She answers,
wandering from kitchen to living room as she chats. It's
a friend asking her to go out together for the evening, and Jasmine
considers whether or not to go, unsuspecting that a masked man is
creeping across the kitchen at that moment and dropping something
into her coffee. Jasmine decides she's going to stay home and tells her
friend she'll see her in a few days. She retrieves her coffee and
continues to drink it as she takes wood from the cradle
behind the stove ready to light a fire for the evening. She feels a
little dizzy and begins to cough, wondering if she is coming down with
something. She finishes her coffee and loads the wood into
the stove. Now the room is starting to spin. Jasmine tries to stand but
sways and drops to her knees. In the bright light coming in from the
kitchen, she sees a figure approaching. She shields her
eyes and looks frightened as she sees a man in black wearing a white
mask. She attempts to crawl away from him, but darkness is swimming in
at the edges of her world and she loses her balance, going
down for the last time. The masked man drags her back into the living
room by her ankles then ties her up in a tight hogtie. Jasmine begins
emerging from her stupor before he has quite finished the
job and tries to fight him off, but it's too late - she is tightly bound
and barely able to move. Moments later, she is gagged with duct tape.
The masked man then sits on the floor and watches she
struggle and listens to her muffled cries for help. No one can hear her
but she continues to cry anyway. When the masked man finally leaves,
Jasmine desperately tries to work her way to the back door
of the house. If only she can attract attention; get help.
