Slow Down

Why so green and lonely

"It appears that you fell some time during the night. I do apologise, it was not my intention."

One of my eyes opened. I am still on the floor suffering as ever. I'm trying to slowly push my self up.

"Come and sit"

It was a painful walk. But I needed only a few steps more.

So cold.

I fell into the chair and glad to finally rest myself. He was drinking from odd shaped glass.

"Thirsty?" He said taking another mouthful. I just nodded weakly.
"I would imagine so." He put down his glass and spat in it. He dragged his glass across the table and gave it to me.

I looked at the glass which still had a little of his drink left. I looked up at him and without thinking downed the drink in front of me. I was desperate for a drink.

"You know you remind me of my friend Sarek. We were childhood friends and did everything together. We were desperate children, always looking for food and water. We were scavenging through bins and trash and we found our reward. A set of water bottles half full of course. One day the bullies came and took them from us. But not for them to drink. No. Just to spit in them and gave them back. I couldn't bring myself to drink it but Sarek he downed all the bottles very much as you just did"

I started laughing slowly and picked up the pace.

"What are laughing at?" He said puzzled.

"Your fucking insane!" I said with a high pitched laugh. I was truly in tears by the end but I didn't stop  talking. "Now when I look at you, I don't see a proud torturer, I see a pathetic child"

"Enough." And grabbed his remote and the lights flashed back on.

"How many lights do you see Alim?"

"Ha! You called me Alim. I thought I was just monster?"

"I warn you now, this false sense of winning gives you no advantage. You are only making this worse for your self"

I smiled again. "There are four lights"

I can tell that really pissed him off. He opened another draw and pulled out a stun gun. The smile disappeared as he cane for me. He jabbed it in my throat and turned it on.

My body started to shake violently. "Youuuuu areeeee ahhhhh pathetic child. You cannot hurrrrrrt meeeeee"

He took it out and but I was still in relentless pain. The endless shocking made me lose feeling in several parts of my body. I attempted to control it, I closed my eyes and took heavy breathes. It didn't work as I would have hoped. My muscles seized to work and any attempt to move them was futile. But I've achieved one thing.

I managed to piss him off and that was enough for me.
