how to rewire a TV

Thinking of home

seconds… minutes… hours….days…weeks… passed. Vox wasn't sure how many, he'd lost count at this point. biding his time Vox Behaved. Saying hello, goodbye and thank you when required and only answering questions he was asked. For his "new attitude” Vox was rewarded with a comfortable pillow and blanket in the Cage and reluctantly Vox did actually appreciate the gift. His meals  and bathroom breaks were still in the cage much to Voxs annoyances. It was just so dehumanizing and  was the two things that dug into his ego the most. Vox was not an animal, Vox was not an object, Vox was a CEO of his company, he told people what to do, not the other way round. Vox was so close to having hell in the palm of his hand. That was until this… until Alastor decided to come back… decided to take Vox away from all he'd worked for.

The other part of Voxs routine was Getting out of the cage and sitting with Alastor with a drink for a while, usually in silence  or sometimes Alastor would tell him some news. How Valentino and Velvette were still keeping it quiet Vox was missing instead saying He'd simply gone on a much deserved break. Vox would nod and Grit his teeth at Alastor’s teasing. They'd be looking for him right? Not just waiting to see if he showed up? They'd be making sure Voxtechs reputation would hold? Well he knew Velvette would… But Valentino? Who was going to calm him down? Help persuade him to make the right choices? He'd be worried about Vox right? And Velvette she must be worried?

Voxs thoughts were Interrupted when Alastor made his appearance through the shadows once again.

“Morning Vox” Alastor smiled his tone joyfully. Must be a good day today. He was making his way over to Voxs cage.

“Morning Alastor” Vox mumbled mind trying to get back to his thoughts of his colleagues. Still he watched Alastor wave his hand and the door to the cage was suddenly completely removed.  Vox frowned what Was he playing at?

“I do think we've made great progress so let me reward you, as long as you keep behaving i'll keep the door off the cage and also…” waving his hand again a door appeared on the plain wall next to one of the gas lamps. “Now don't get too excited it's just a bathroom but I trust I can leave you to get changed and washed up there are some clothes inside I'll be right back with some breakfast” Alastor Suddenly looks at Vox expectedly.

“Oh..err... thank you Alastor” Voxs feeling of unease leaked into his voice but it seemed Alastor didn't mind if anything his smile grew wider at the unusually submissive tone. A bathroom, was it really a bathroom? and he was allowed out all the time now? Is that all it took a few Days of just behaving (It had been a few days right?) and Vox would be able to have some freedom… Maybe if Vox holds out long enough Alastor would let him out of the room and he'd be able to go home.

Alastor had quickly disappeared into the shadows once more leaving Vox alone in his thoughts. Vox crawled out of the cage, his heart racing slightly. This isn't a trick, no it couldn't be Alastor would have stayed to watch if it was. Once his tired body was out of the cage and on his feet Vox stretched, stiff joints clicking as he did. Walking towards the new door and turning the handle slightly as Vox holds his breath he pulls the door open and steps inside.

It's only a small bathroom. Plain sink with mirror above, small bath shower and a toilet a fucking toilet no more pissing in a bucket like an animal. There's a small hamper for dirty clothes with a fresh set of joggers and t-shirt sat on the lid. Oh Vox feels giddy he didn't realize how badly staring at the same 4 walls was getting to him until now. Being able to wash and get changed was also such a treat. The joggers he currently had were still cut and still had dried blood all over them. When he'd asked Alastor for fresh ones he'd been shot down being told he didn't deserve them for the tantrum he'd thrown after Alastor had been so generous.

Moving to turn the shower on Vox began removing his clothes Throwing the T-shirt and kicking his trousers and boxer towards the hamper he'll pick them up later Alastor would hate the… No fuck him they can stay on the floor. Letting out a sigh Vox stood under the running water. The feel of fresh water running down his body was so refreshing. He hadn't realized how disgusting and dirty he felt until it was being washed away. Don't get him wrong, the pressure of the water was crap compared to his large walk-in shower at home in the V-tower and the temperature was slightly too cold. He could also feel the cheap bath mat below his Feet instead of the nice deep blue marble Valentino had helped him pick out.
