We suddenly pause when we encounter a very familiar door. It's the door to the furnace, and ever since I got here, this is the room I detested the most. I've been starved, beaten, and locked within the room. Although nobody dares to approach it, it is simply a part of my life. I may only be 14 but I have been through things even adults fear.

Rust spills out onto the room's icy floor as she unlocks the damaged door made of old metal. The walls are covered in webs and holes, while the floor is coated with dried blood. She stops as we go further into the creepy chamber and stands me up straight. I instantly grab onto my ear in agony and check to see if it's still there. When I look up, I am immediately met with the furnace's entrance.
"Maybe If you spend some time here, perhaps you'll think twice about what you say to me next time. Now turn around." My poor ears are assaulted by her intimidatingly loud voice, forcing me to follow her commands. I turn around swiftly and lift my two wrists and watch as she raises her belt and lowers it
onto them. I scream and cry for her to stop, but she continues. Her ugly smile grows larger the more I beg.
