Sarcophagus
an X-shape, wrapping around them before pinning them to my chest, as well as quickly wrapping around my legs, binding them together and immobilizing them. The wrappings started to cover my neck, my face, and my entire head. I could feel the soft bandages covering my mouth and tightening around it. I threw my body weight left and right, and then finally forward in a last-ditch attempt to dislodge myself from the back of the sarcophagus, pulling this way and that with my bound arms.
