The Man

Chapter 2

"I need to find a way to get my mom back," Jarvis thought to himself. "My mom. A slave for this man. I can't live with the thought if this."

"Oh but you will have to young boy. For there is no escape," said the man.

He has come out of the shadows now. Visible for all to see. But the only one there to see was Jarvis.

"Please. Just let me see my mother!"

"As you wish."

The man pulled back into the shadows. But came back this time with his mother.

"Mom!"

She tried to talk but she couldn't. She opened her mouth only she had no tongue.

"What? Why can't she speak?" asked Jarvis.

"I cut out her tongue. She will never speak again."

His mother lifted up her head and he saw she had no eyes. She was inhumanly pale. The man took all the skin off her face until she was all bone. She looked like a ghost. It looked as if her eyes were gouged out. All that was left was the socket. Blood was pouring out of the sockets.

Her hand and ankles were cuffed together. She was bound in chains. She was all skin and bones. Her hair had gone white from stress. She was no longer human.

"No..." Jarvis whispered.

"Yes." smiled the man.
