What?

Where am I?

Why can't I see anything?

What's going on?

All Tyler could see was black. He could hear muffled noises, so he knew he was awake. What the fuck was happening. He tried to speak, but he found that there was something covering his mouth. Duct tape. What?!

The blackness was removed from his eyes. It turned out to be a blindfold. When Tyler saw who had taken it off, his stomach dropped to his feet.

"Miss me?"

"... Dad?"

•••

"Dad, what the fuck? What are you doing? What's going on?" Tyler tried to move, but he was tied to a chair. His dad was standing over him, grinning eerily. The stench of alcohol reeked on his father.

"Well son, you see..." Tyler's dad began, a long slur to his words. "Your momma thinks I'm no good for you. She thinks I done 'harmed' you. Now I don't believe that bullshit. I thinks you needed to be taught a lesson. And now I see you need another one." Mr. Joseph backhanded Tyler across the face. "And another one." Again. "And one more for the road." Again. Tyler couldn't bear it.

"Why are you doing this dad?" Tyler cried.

"Because fairy boys need to be taught lessons. Now I know you think you're in love with that Dun boy." Oh shit. He knew. "But that's just sin. Pure sin. Why would anyone want to be like that? People like that just need lessons." And another backhanded blow was delivered to Tyler's cheek. Tyler didn't know what to do. He was so hurt physically and emotionally he started to believe... he deserved it.
