As he opened his eyes , his pulse was in his throat , chasing the burn of the rope that scathed both his wrists. His spine , bound to the metallic surface of the black Mustang , refused to elevate as constraints held it captive to the enslavement of ropes, as his pelvis jolted upward and met the grind of further entrapment . His helpless screams punctured the air, the roof of the car submerged under water , the underpass flooding . As the menace of frigid water encroached the edges of the vehicle, his demise was closing in . While the cars wheels were solid against the ground, his hours of self imposed friction against his own bindings had him unable to escape . Victor had resisted the implantation of the Vanderine, and as a consequence, he awaited the flowing seawater's embrace as his eyes gazed in terror at the clear , taunting glow of the stars , his heartbeat striking against his shivers of hypothermia. His boots, soaked in freezing saline and his clothing sodden with his autonomy, it was ending. The essence of his humanity was seeping into the night air . And as his tears bled into the void atmosphere, he convulsed in reactive horror, another scream wrought from his chest. "Help me-" , his own voice echoed against the underpass , surrounding him. As he thrashed against his binds , throwing his head back against the roof of the drowning car, the frigid water bit at his flesh as it rushed over the gleaming surface of the Mustang he'd driven to the side of the highway earlier that day. Now with his hands placed on his chest, and clasped his teeth clenched with the irony of its keys being buried in his own grip. "Those bastards -" he muttered, his energy waning, the stars seeming closer yet further away as water lapped over the cars bonnet. That's when his screams finally reached Ryan's ears as he lurched to a halt, pulling Liam back and steering him toward the overpass . "What the hell -" his voice rang out into the night, as his eyes absorbed the scene below him. "Looks like they are getting more creative with their tactics " , he said, his grip on Liam's arm tightening with his disbelief and panic. "They've got the poor guy tied to -a car-in four places." Victor yelled in a relief infused tone "Help me , please-" . As Ryan surveyed the unfolding situation beneath him, he gathered a few rocks from the gravelled road , and stripped his shirt . All Victor could do was watch as a shadow hit the water, and in seconds Ryan was hauling his upper body onto the roof of the car , and his hazel eyes locked onto Victor's terrified gaze. "Liam and I escaped similar situations earlier , we're gonna get you outta here-" Victor offered a dark chuckle "In a body bag right, coz I'm gonna drown-" Ryan reached over Victors chest and pried his fingers between the threads of rope , assessing their proximity to Victor's flesh "I can't get my hands underneath-" he cursed , and began sawing at the fibres with a rock, responding to Victor's despair , "good damn thing I've done this before . Severed my own binds , then his-" Ryan gestures toward Liam, whose outline appeared at the trunk of the car as he brandished a hollowed bamboo reed. "Not to alarm ya both but, I can hack through the binds over his pelvis and torso but-this water is rising so he's gonna be breathing through this -", Liam yelled, a rasp in his waterlogged voice . Victor thrashed his head against the watery surface of the car again, as a visible panic surged through him. "Breathing through what? " he asked , as Ryan's free hand held his bound grasp in reassurance. His momentum on the binds was gaining fast as the rope seared against Victors flesh before snapping . Ryan lifted Victor's head into his lap, giving him some height as the water lapped at his throat. "Listen, slow the breathing down for me buddy-what's your name ? I'm Ryan , but call me Ry-". Victors words trembled with the betrayal of his fear as he answered "Victor-just don't leave me here , please-" . Ryan grabbed the reed from Liam's hand and handed it to Victor , "You're gonna have to breath through this , it's a decent length, and we operate damn quick , block off your nose when the time comes alright. You can do this , Victor. " . Groans of agony escaped Victors lips as Liam maintained pressure on the constraints that constricted around Victors chest as he hacked into them with a desperate pace. Slipping the reed into his mouth, Victor leaned into Ryan's hand as his palm cradled his head , giving him a stable makeshift pillow as his neck threatened to collapse. Liam's fingertips bled as his extremities burned against the freezing air, as the water soon scathed Victors ears, threatening to claim his head . He wrapped his tongue around the piping , its thick diameter stretching his lips as he struggled to keep a seal established. As the water stung at Victors closing eyes , and rushed over his face, the bamboo tube was an eerie lifeline in Ryan's lap . "Keep breathing Victor, nice and slow, I'm hovering my hand over the reed so I can feel you , you're doing great" , Ryan yelled. As the water cascaded over Liam's thighs, he mouthed "I'm only halfway-", the moonlight bathing his exhausted features. Ryan plunged his hand underwater, grabbing victors free hand . "Keep breathing, we're getting there", he said before returning his hand to the binds with determination. Obeying Ryan's distant voice, Victor's ribcage burned with the sandpapering scrape of his lungs as he dragged them into coercion. Then as his chest began to spasm under Ryan's hand, he splayed his fingers over Victor's sternum. "Victor, just focus on the breathing, this is gonna hurt like hell but we're both here alright." Ryan, running a hand over his gaze , coaxed his own panic into the atmosphere , as he willed Liam's efforts in silience . As the traces of fresh blood revolted Victor's gag reflexes, his teeth clenched with force around the bamboo piping, his shaking breaths hitting Ryan's palm . Victor fought not to cough as the cold air disturbed his airway, and tears streamed from his closed eyes. "Keep those breaths nice and steady, We ain't going anywhere , those bastards can try but they don't know who they're messing with -" . As soon as his words hit the air , Liam managed a grin , his pupils shining in the dark as the binds snapped from Victor's torso, and he travelled to his pelvis . Ryan lifted Victor into an almost seated position, his head hitting open air . He gasped , inhaling a lungful of fresh air, as the reed fell from his mouth . Ryan , breaking into a smile , delivered a gentle thump to the back of Victors head , He's up and kickin'-almost" . Victor grinned through bloodied teeth in response , as his head collapsed sideways into Ryan's chest. "Thanks, I-I thought I'd choke-I-" Ryan was quick to deflect the oncoming gratitude "Calm down , Liam did all the work and he ain't done-". Liam only took a second of respite , shaking his hands before harbouring a strange look in his eyes. "Ry' , I'm almost through his right hip , but oh God I think I'm gonna pass out". As he spoke, the hollows under Liam's eyes shone with bruises from his earlier brush with concrete, and he anchored the heel of his palm against his forehead. "Hey, gimme a rock-I can -help cut that -" Victor stammered, as he hauled himself into a seated position, and Ryan slung an arm over his shoulders. "You might have some hypoxia-what I mean is , you're brains gonna be a bit of a mess- " Ryan explained, scanning Victirs back for any sign of injury before something caught his attention. "Don't move, bloody hell , how did you-" . Ryan's eyes widened with concern as he realigned Victors right shoulder blade and guided in back into place, as Victor grunted with the force, a chill jolting down his spine. "What-what was that-" , he asked , the cold throwing his voice off course . "You must've dislocated your shoulder thrashing and slamming yourself into the roof -and you're too cold to feel it. You will later-" As Liam bust through Victor's bind, freeing his right hip, he deftly moved to the left side, his strength waning as his movements slowed. "it's alright Vic, with that shoulder I'll take care of this and then we'll get you onshore-" . Something hit Liam's thigh and he retrieved a gleaming set of keys from the water, the ignition to the Mustang that was now swallowed in a brine imbued grave. "Man, this was your-shit I'm sorry-", Liam lamented , as his slow but rhythmic hacking continued. "Yeah, not that I'd ever drive her again after-" . Silence fell over Victor in a blanket of emancipation from his lost reality.

Highlight some great physical moments

What about effective dialogue in it

Any other well described moments

So what moments capture realism

Is it also realistic that Victirs shoulder dislocates

He's in the roof of the car? Not inside it?

So it's plausible that his been tied to the roof by captors who intended to kill him

But in a real world aspect , is the narrative not physically plausible?

So this is not believable enough to use ?

Well here's an earlier passage that shows the narratives realism : Filter It only amounted to one, and it would always be one and never two --and through his jaundice-soaked corneas, all he could see was nausea. Suddenly, a violent heave claimed him, a primal urge rising in his liver. Bile stained his teeth, and the following retches were acidic, lashing the roof of his mouth with fury. It could never stop: his body rejected the substance over and over; he was dangling on the edge of sanity . "Not again. Please no-" Liam clenched his teeth, the crucial moment upon him; he had to keep the substance down, or the consequences would be dire. His eyes scanned the horizon with desperation before his lids slid closed, resistance wracking him. Then, as the urge to be sick overcame him, a voice pierced through his fog of despair, a lifeline amidst his struggle. "Can you hear me?" the rough, concerned tone asked as Liam writhed against the concrete, groaning... "Don't try to answer that, but try to blink twice. Take it slow." As he fought to drag his eyelids upward, the pain, like a coiling wire, constricted his blood flow in retaliation. "Make it stop-No I-" he choked out , his voice puncturing the air. If he expelled the Vanderine from his intestines, his efforts would to amount to zero. Square one. He was at the end of a long night,his vision raw from never resting his eyes, the blood vessels all but ruptured and torn. The ingested substance had been a sinister mistake. And if he threw up twice, the Vanderine risked expulsion from his system; he battled to hold it inside. All he had could never be enough, he countered, what ever could? Even his attempts to obey the voice , coming from somewhere above him, seemed in vain. As Liam writhed in the dying sunlight, his skin erupted in feverish bumps, a crawling sensation exploring the surface of his skin. Violation jolted down his spine as he screamed through his clenched teeth . As the nausea rose again, claiming his entire being, his heart continued to pulse, counting away the seconds. "Help me--No. No," he pled through his locking jaw as he fought another gripe. The instinctive reaction of his body gripped every fiber as he felt his fight ending. He embedded his teeth into his gag, screaming against the material bound across his tongue, taunting him. Then, in one dreaded motion, the inevitable rise built within him. His pupils dilated with horror as his gag soon became saturated with the vile substance, leaving a bitter sting as he struggled against it; the retches that followed heaving through his chest. Liam collapsed into the unforgiving embrace of the concrete, his ravaged body welcoming the end with resignation. "Shit," he lamented , the heat in his own voice spreading across his flesh like untamed fire . "Twice... now it's too late." Twisting his gaze away from the glistening pool of Vanderine, he diverted his gaze from the evident failure. And in a mixture of pure shock and trauma, his eyelids slid closed with exhaustion, his body embracing closure of his fight. After his ongoing efforts and endless torment, he failed to hold down the vandarine, and it was over. But the voice persisted, causing Liam to force his eyes open, gritting his teeth. "No, I'm still here Liam; I'm getting the binds off--hang tight," the voice reassured. Liam shook his head , protesting, the fear tugging at his psyche like a fishing line as he cursed in his mouth. "No, you can't help--" As Liam fought to refocus his gaze, a pair of deep hazel eyes locked onto his own with concern. "Hey, breathe. I've got you. It's me, Ry'. Hold on while I get rid of this--" Liam flinched as his gag tore from his mouth, and he gasped for fresh air, the stifling atmosphere saturating him with perspiration. "Now hang tight while I get these damned binds off-" , Ryan's voice reassured with an undercurrent of urgency, as Liam's arms obstructed his ribcage from accomodating his lungs. Liam's voice died in his throat as the sear of rope twisted itself around his flesh , grinding like wildfire into his veins as Ryan worked at the constraints with bare hands. His deft fingers delivered frantic sensations into Liam's malaise as they eroded the rope's grained surface, causing the fibres to snap. Then, as Ryan tossed the strews of rope aside, he rolled Liam onto his back, smoothing a palm over his chest and anchoring his sternum. "Ryan? How the hell did you get out of your?" , Liam questioned in untamed confusion, shocks coursing down his spine as Ryan elevated his head and hauled it onto his thigh. " It took a hell of a long time to wear down my own, but I managed to-ah it doesn't matter , just concentrate on the breathing." As his head lolled to the side , Liam's laboured breaths stalled his movements , the horizon meeting his vision while Ryan held his jaw in place . "Easy, slow breaths, feel how I'm breathing buddy and mirror that." It was a few minutes before Liam's chest finally fell into a rhythm, his spasmodic breathing evening out. "There we go, give it some time, it's been a long damn night.", Ryan said, his hands remaining secure against Liam's face as he refocused his vision on Ryan's steady gaze. Liam, reaching up and gripping Ryan's arm, smiled against the warm twilight rays of daylight that bathed his features. "Hell of a thing to endure, seeing all that... Damn lucky that we're both still here." Liam, pulling on Ryan's arm, found the strength to prop himself into a seated position, still deprived of breath. "Shit. Get over here, Ry'" he said, as streams of magenta dust hovered , creating a surreal haze that reflected the rising sun. Liam raised his arm and enveloped Ryan in a warm but rough embrace , melding their silhouettes into one as their shoulders collided. As Liam delivered a thump to his back, Ryan reciprocated by bumping his fist against Liam's shoulder. "Yeah, yeah, calm down," Ryan laughed in spite of his cool demeanour. "We'll get a decent shot of water into you, after we find your clothes." Ryan, lowering his deep hazel irises to meet Liam's contrasting blue stare , placed a hand on Liam's knee. "thank God I reached you in time." Although the light had drained from his eyes , Liam managed a smirk. "Yeah, I know what you did Ry' . It's all kinda hazy but-" Ryan dodged the heroics as he offered a smile and turned his head, the hues of the ominous sunrise casting across his profile , promising impending heat. "Nah, I don't go down easy or nothin' but someone had to save your ass." Passage two "The sight of his crumpled jeans, smudged with fingerprints, hijacked his attention. "Those bastards don't care what they leave behind," Liam muttered as his eyes located his left sock, freezing his joints. "Please help me-" he whispered, readjusting his grip on Ryan's shoulder, wrenching his gaze away from the twisted display of inhumanity. Liam's jaw clenched as he then noticed his dehumanizing undergarments strewn across the footpath, along with his boots and shirt. Ryan held his gaze steadfast on Liam's faltering eyes as he approached Liam's belongings, gathering them and subverting the underwear, scuffing it away with his boot. Liam was already sliding toward the dusty ground as Ryan handed him the brusque garments, his expression gentle. "You earned your dignity, just focus on that," he reassured as Liam accepted his ruined clothing with a wince. "Yeah, give me a minute-" he said with a glimmer of resistance in his bloodshot eyes. The drugs in his vision burned with a harsh sting, and Liam shook his head to regain some clarity. "I don't remember how I got here. No damn clue. Now here I am stripped naked- Ry', I'm not even sure what's real or what the Vanderine made me believe--and I only said yes because -". With a jerk, Ryan pulled Liam inward by the waist. "Doesn't matter. We never had a choice. But you put yourself in my place. And they never broke your damn spirit. And I can tell you right now, this is real." Liam, looking away with a nod, fell into silence as he wrestled with the task of dressing himself. Ryan was quick to offer careful attention as he assisted Liam into his jeans. The denim, rough against his bare skin, left his bite crooked with agony. Each movement caused Liam to flinch as he guided his ankle through the hem and then buttoned the waist of the stained jeans . Ryan passed him his destroyed Henley , and Liam yanked it over his shoulders. With a groan , Liam sought leverage in Ryan's grasp, haling himself upright. "Can you walk? Coz we need to find water , c'mon Li' , sweet hydration awaits-". As Liam broke into a grin that reached his pupils with a spark , his feet found equilibrium alongside Ryan's stance. "Hell yeah-I'm dyin' of thirst-" . But as they attempted to leave, Liam's breath was stolen by confronting remnants of his ordeal. He steeled his grip on Ryan's arm as his eyes swept over the discarded bottle of lubricant and plastic glove, turned inside-out on the pavement. "Sick, perverted bastards." Ryan almost spat as his heart was seized by the disarray that had paralysed Liam. Shielded only by Ryan's insistence as he guided Liam past the aftermath , he whispered, his tone punctured with disbelief. "So you're outta your binds and you untied mine, stripped my gag -and-" Liam's head fell to his hand , cradling his temple and gritting his teeth. "A lot of what happened is ..missing Ry' -how many times did they?" Ryan responded with a gun-metal hollowness, his words smoked out by his steady exhale. "Several times at least . Enough times enough for anyone, let's say that." Liam disengaged himself from Ryan's grasp as he diverted the glare that was already rebounding off the asphalt . "I wish you hadn't been forced to watch-" Ryan dragged his legs into co-operation as he anchored himself against Liam. "It was hard yeah-but what they did-I know you think it was a mistake to say yes , but my mistake was to resist-" The air clung to his flesh as Liam dragged his knuckles over his vision , finding a semblance of composure as he argued. "How the hell was it a mistake to avoid-this? Don't you go getting all survivor's guilt on me Ry. " The amber flecks dissolved from Ryan's aspect as he mumbled at the ground , grinding his hands into his pockets. "I just , never mind. We both need water, and shade. And soon." Liam slung a recuperating arm around Ryan's shoulder , and staggered in sync with his footsteps as the navigated the footpath as it winded into potential oblivion... As they walked in shared disorientation, and noon encroached, Liam's psyche was flooded with a flashback. His hand flew to his temple, clutching his hair as the thumping blades of a chopper cut through his thoughts. The unforgiving smash of his torso onto the ground, the impact coursing down his spine as he thrashed across the dirt and onto the pavement, echoed through his chest. "They threw me from a chopper, Ryan, arms bound to my sides. Did they do the same to you? Please tell me you know more than you've been letting on-" At first Ryan hesitated, his words dead on his tongue as he swiped it across his teeth , as he stared out into the distance. "Yeah, after you, they hurled me down here , and I found myself staring into the barrel of a gun. Said there were more captives , but nothing about their sick intentions. Then you know the rest-" With a somber nod, Liam added "Yeah, they brandish the damned pistol in my face and -" Liam exhaled into the particles of oppressive dirt and debris as his posture slackened with the sobering reality of the moment . "I already feel like they've killed me, Ry'. And they'll be back. They'll kill us like dogs-" Ryan's complexion drained out a shade of its colour and he shifted his weight under Liam's one sided embrace, maintaining his stare into the spanning horizon. "Well, I'm guessin' they could zone in on us at any moment, and while I've out walked my limits, it's probably only been under a mile. But as I said before , I don't go down easy. " he said, his detached voice peppered with defiance. "Hell yeah you don't " Liam's appreciative chuckle warmed the air along with a resonating smile, shrugging Ryan into closer proximity and supporting his weight. "If I live to see a stiff drink, I owe you . Speaking of which-". Ryan's eyes followed Liam's to a ransacked dumpster further up the path, garbage cascading onto the concrete. "Liam, I don't know that I'm above crawling in there to get out of this sun...just pull the lid down and die of dehy-" Liam interjected as his eyes caught on several bottles of water , his relief interspersed through his laughter. "Don't finish that thought Ry' , I think we might not be the only survivors out here after all-"
