Excellent Kidnapped! Contest Entry The Kidnapping of Kimberly Park by DragonSkulls      Kidnapped! Contest Winner

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence. Kimberly Park, a high school senior, was halfway home from the bus stop when a van pulled up beside her. Two men in ski masks jumped out and forced her into the van as the driver sped off across town. She was bound, gagged and blindfolded when they hauled her into the deserted farmhouse. They tied her to a chair and put that day's newspaper in her lap, removed her blindfold and took a picture of her with a disposable cell phone. They knew her rich daddy would pay a healthy ransom for her safe return. They texted the picture to her father and then called with their demands. Her father said he would comply but needed at least a couple hours to put together fifty thousand dollars. They told him where to drop the money. It had to be there no later than seven o'clock. If so, he would get his daughter back unharmed. The three masked kidnappers sat around the kitchen table, fantasizing about what each would do with their newly acquired riches. Forty-five minutes after the phone call, the front door was brutally kicked in. With an axe handle he found in the yard, Kimberly's father came charging into the farmhouse. Before they could even get out of their chairs, he swung at the closest one, bursting his skull wide open. Without losing momentum, he spun a full circle and blasted the eight beer bottles sitting on the table. A barrage of splintering glass exploded into assailant number two, who grabbed his face and shrieked in pain. Kim's dad immediately kicked the table into the guy across from him, sending him flying backwards into the kitchen counter. With both hands, he flung the axe handle at him with full force. It nailed him square in the chest and he collapsed. Her dad leapt over the table, stomping on the man's neck as he landed. The snapping vertebrae echoed off the walls. He picked up the axe handle, turned and delivered a massive blow to the last kidnapper's glass filled face. His lifeless body crumpled to the floor. When he cut his daughter free, she fell into her father's arms weeping. As they were leaving he said, "You still want to argue with me about putting that GPS tracking on your phone?"   Writing Prompt You are challenged to write a story about a kidnapping.
