I saw... I don't know what I saw. Couldn't see crap. At this point, I hoped I was crap. I wasn't. I was left for dead or just something worse, torture, execution, the list probably goes on but I can't think. I fell into sleep. I woke up in a compound. Didn't know where, barely remembered how. What I did know is that I was about to go through unbearable pain. Whatever their clothes were, if I can even call those clothes, it was more like armor, I remember their red glowing eyes and steam coming out of were there mouth should be. All the armor leaves is the suspicion that their human. When they got here they dragged me from my chains and shoved my head underwater until I nearly drowned, an old tactic but effective and plenty of other forms of torture I don't want to mention.
