Chapter 3:

I waited. I had nothing better to do that day anyway. It's not like I had friends to see, a job to attend to. Those pointless distractions were abandoned long ago. None of it made me happy. Not that I would know, though. I don't remember my life before. Maybe I'm crazy, but that's just another word. It doesn't begin to describe how I feel. Maybe crazy is just what people see when they look at me. I don't understand those happy little slaves. How can they be so ignorant? I am the sane one. I do what makes me happy. Or rather, what helps me to escape the pain. That's all that matters.

Sitting cross-legged on the counter, I stare at the door, eating as I waited for my little acquaintance to arrive home. I had everything set up. The table, the ropes, everything to make his pain easier to enjoy.

I listened to the approaching footsteps. "Heh," I breathed. "I haven't done this in awhile." As the door handle jiggled, a grin spread across my face and I closed my eyes, slowly, lowering my head as I giggled.
