Mark woke to darkness, his arms and legs somehow restrained. He could see nothing but a sliver of light from beneath a nearby door. His head pounded from where they'd struck him, knocking him unconscious.
"They" were to Children of Oorus, a small time cult in backwoods new england. He's never spoken to them, just seen them around town. And then, as he was walking home after work, they'd approached him.
"Mark?" one of them had called out. When Mark had turned around he saw them standing there, four in their black clothing covered in strange designs. "I'm afraid you're going to have to come with us, Mark."
Before he could respond, two of the had lunged from the bushes along the road and grabbed him; he'd fought back, but the other four rushed in to help. When he wouldn't give up, one had hit him with something.
And now he was here in the darkness. He sat up, struggling to free himself; all that did was rub his wrists raw, so he stopped and instead waited, wondering what the cult's plans for him might be.
