(this is part 1 of a 3-part series which I'll release within a few days of part 1's publication. The full episode is called, Cuffed, Tied & Gagged By Intruder). I'm quietly sitting sewing in my drawing room, dressed in high strappy heels, skater skirt and white blouse, when a man bursts in and takes me quite unawares! At first, I think he must be the police, since he immediately slaps a pair of handcuffs onto my wrists, fastening my hands behind my back.  However, he's not in uniform, and when he leaves to search the house, I wonder if he's a burglar? Or perhaps something to do with the military? Unsure what to do, I try to escape the cuffs in a variety of ways. It's hopeless, they won't budge. It occurs to me to try to get out of the house, but what on earth would the neighbours say if they saw me in the street, in my high heels, short skirt and handcuffs? It'd be a scandal. Undecided and nervous, I stay in the room, anxiously trying to escape the cuffs, and anticipating what might happen next...
