The air was dense,  hard to breath. It was musky, smelt disgusting. His body ached. He could barely see, the dark hours of night left him with no light, though what he could see was blood.
This was normal to him. The pain would subside eventually, it always does. It had probably only been a few hours since his father had paid his last visit to the dark stone room that Adam was kept in.

Every few seconds he could retrieve a small gasp of air.  Blood dripped down his legs. Such a cruel thing; though it happened almost everyday. By time his father was finished, Adam was numb.
