Tight. Long-term. Secure. Helpless. All adjectives Amanda would have preferred not to hear in connection with her predicament. Protesting immediately, she soon realized she couldn't refute any of them. No matter how she struggled the chair seemed to work against her, never allowing her the slightest leverage or chance to use her weight to pull something loose. Instead, her efforts only left her slowly rocking in place while the adjectives ran through her head. Amanda had will, determination, and plenty of her own gile but doubted if they would make any difference.
