In The Shadows

I woke up again tied to a post in the house. The guy held a syringe filled with a liquid that looked very bad. It was liquid morphine. "Josh, when will you learn?" He taunted. " I know you don't have access to the money, but where it is is important."

"I owe you shit so stop!" I tasted blood in my mouth when he hit my mouth.

"Slowly but surely I'm going to make you see yourself as Josh Ramsay again, even if I have to torture you. If you don't admit you are Josh Ramsay within three days, I will kill you. You're lucky I'm doing the appearance thing. Then I will call the authorities and report I found your dead body. There's a pretty price for you being found. A million dollars." He smirked.

I smelt the hair due before he released me from the ties. What was this sick and twisted man doing? Forcing me to go back to who I was by torturing me?

I felt blood in my mouth. Then I saw it, an old friend that I had to remove. Crudely shoved back in. The little metal ball of a tongue piercing.

I had to confess. I had to. He'd torture and change me until he killed me. He was tout ring me, emotional and physical torture.
