The lonely whispers filled the empty universe around me.

A grey which had recently turned a darker shade, enclosed around me. Chlostrophobia becoming my new friend.

I lazily flickered my eyes around again and just like before; there was no escape.

I groan in frustration; why am I even here? I thought as I tugged at the ruthless chains again.

Once I was convinced yet again that the chains weren't loose and most probably will never come loose, I gave up.

I leaned my head against the wall and listened to the small beating of my heart.

Why am I even here?

Something clicked; literally.

I heard a click around me and i know it wasn't my imagination, or was it? No, it was definitely not my imagination and here's why.

I looked up at the ceiling trying to see where this clicking was coming from and I saw a hatch was open just above me.

I blinked a few times to see if that actually was open or even a thing and luckily it was.

I pulled at the chains, a new found strength grew within me.

They were still the same but I wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

I looked up again and saw a shadow standing, looking into this confined space.

And then red.

Red was all I could see for a few moments until I realised what was happening, this place was being filled up with blood! I mean the taste and the smell made it obvious.

I shouted out for the person to stop but my cries were never heard because the hatch was now shut, as if it never existed. However I knew it existed because blood still oozed into this cell.

I tugged at the chains profusely, tears staining my cheeks.

"Someone help?!" I screamed and a sob then arose.

I don't want to die, I don't want to die.

I repeated the sentence over and over again, causing me to pull harder on the chains.

The blood had somehow filled up the room really quickly that I now found that it reached my knees. I tugged at the chains again and started to scream out in frustration, the chains are still the exact same. Not even affected by me!

I slammed my hand into the wall, letting my furry out on it as I knew the chains were hopeless.

I looked down and saw that the blood had now reached my waist, "please stop it!" I shouted out again but to my demise the blood still continuously flowed in.

I looked up at the chains again then back at the blood, an idea.

I looked at the chains and started to climb up them.

Luckily the chain was long enough for my to climb.

I had now reached the ceiling and held onto the chains with one hand whilst trying to search the ceiling with the other.
