It was a warm Summer's day, not too hot, and a hint of a breeze.
I was on my bike, just riding around, taking in the air.
I was going to a friends house later that afternoon, so I had my tugs equipment in my backpack.
As I was going past the river, I saw a girl, sitting on the bank. I cycled closer, it was Mirae !
I rode up to her, ''Hi Mirae, what you up to'' I asked.
''Not much, I just came down here by the river, its real beautiful here.
We chatted for a while, I told her about going to my friends for a few tie up games.
''Why wait till later'' squealed Mirae, ''You can tie me up now ''!
I knew Mirae liked to be tied up, it was common knowledge among a small circle of people.
Needless to say, I agreed, I started to take my stuff out of my bag.
Where we were, the river was only very shallow, there were some stepping stones, which led out to a small island of shingle.
We decided that was where she would be held prisoner.
We hopped across the stones, and onto the shingle.
Mirae turned around, which allowed me to tie her wrists together, using some of my rope.
''Is that tight enough'' I asked.
Mirae tried to move her wrists, ''Yea, it seems so'' she said
I tightened them a little bit more, just to make sure.
Then I used some more rope, and tied her legs together, just above her knees.
Mirae stood ther smiling, as I finished off, by binding her ankles together.
I then laid her down on the shingle.
''Do you know what day it is'' she squealed.
''Yep its Wednesday'' I laughed, then I remembered that every Wednesday, the Water Company, opened a sluice up river, which directed the excess water our way. It never was a lot, it usually made the water deeper by about 2 inches.
''Its only a little bit of water, you'll hardly get wet'' I laughed.
Mirae looked around, ''Think you could be right, I don't think it will come much up this shingle'' she replied.
''I then took out a small ball of cloth, I popped it into Mirae's mouth, covered her mouth with duct tape, and then finished off, by tying a scarf around her mouth.
''Are you comfortable Mirae'' I giggled.
Mmmpppppppphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! was Mirae's answer.
I then hopped back over the stones to the bank, to watch her struggle.
I sat on the bank, I opened a bottle of water, took a big swig, then lit a cigarette, and kept my beady eyes on my little prisoner.
I could see her struggling to get free, and I could just hear some muffled grunts.
I watched for a few minutes, then I heard the siren go off, which meant the excess water was being released.
I shouted over to Mirae, ''Waters on its way, try and stay dry'' and laughed.
Mirae stated to squirm and wriggle even more, she was determined not to get wet.
A couple of minutes passed, and Mirae was still firmly bound, I'd done a good job on her.
Then the excees water began to arrive, it washed slowly down past us, did not even touch the shingle.
Then all of a sudden, a bigger wave of water appeared, they must have been letting out extra this week !
The water was running slowly, but it was at least a foot deep, it came up the shingle, and I could see from the bank, that Mirae was getting very wet.
She fought against her gag and bonds, but to no avail.
I took my shoes and socks off, and hopped over the stepping stones to where Mirae lay.
Despite being gagged, I could she she was furious.
I picked her up, and put her over my shoulder, and carried her back to the bank.
I laid her down, and started to untie her, her hair was bedraggled, and her jeans and t-shirt were soaked.
I left her hands tied, but removed her gag.
''Look at my clothes, look at my hair'' she screamed
She then swore at me a lot.
I was in two minds as to whether to gag her again, but I thought better of it, and eventually I untied her hands.
After a while she calmed down, I think she saw the funny side of it all.
Anyway we talked for a while, and by the time I left to go to my friends, Mirae was practically dry.
