The Stray and the Prey

Here I am, all locked up in a strange dark room. Never knew where I am, and will probably never know.

Within me are piles and piles of rage.. I'm locked up in a cage.

Millions of punches inside of me, forcing me to be what they want me to be.. I am not blind! Yet I can't see, locked up in my mind where I can't flee. What are they doing to me?

So how did I get here?

I was kidnapped, like any kidnapping you'd see in the movies. A black van stops, the doors open and 4 Muscular men come out of no where and throw me in. But why and who? These questions remain unanswered for me. What would they want from a guy like me? It's not like I'm wealthy and I don't have any spotlights on me.. I've lived in the same neighborhood ever since I was three, and a very few amount of people seem to know me.. so what can it be? And till when?

This, This is my story.

I am Jack Smith. A 23 years old man trying to climb up the ladder of life, trying to build a family marry the girl that I love, working two shifts at a day just to be able to support my parents and be capable of getting married in a few months, I've been working on this for years now.

In my morning shift, I work as a chef at a restaurant and at night I work at a gas station.

Despite the fact that I graduated as a Mechanical engineer, I could not find a job anywhere.

My Fiancee, Anna. She is the prettiest girl i have ever laid eyes on. A beautiful tall blonde girl, the love of my life. We've been together since we were in school. We went to the same school. It was a long journey but whatever happens she will always be my favorite. She supported me through the sweet and the sour, and her parents are also the sweetest I've ever met.

I can not wait till the day we get married, and we're both living under the same roof. Proudly saying that we're husband and wife. After all of my hard work. I was just a few months away. And super excited.

It's been years since I asked her out. The 12th of July. Best day of my life.

Also every man must have a close friend to open up to. A friend to hold on to. David, a huge guy full of muscles. More like a beast.. he is my closest friend. We've been together through hell and back. Really rough times and very tough situations, but we always seemed to figure it out. Nevertheless like any friends we used to argue a lot but that never stopped us from being who we are. Who ever knows me definitely knows David. We were always together! We always went cycling until that one time David had an accident, We usually go Cycling in the woods as an Extreme sport, he fell and broke his ankle. Ever since he couldn't ride a bicycle.

The scars are still there.

But that wasn't the last time he stayed at a hospital. He once was almost killed by a stranger for literally nothing. Just for having a bad day. Later on everything was perfectly fine.

But eventually, everything had changed. My whole life was ruined and everything that I had planned.

All the hard work went in vain.

It was just a few weeks until our wedding.

And that's when the four horsemen of the apocalypse showed up, the horsemen who ruined my life. Who caused me starvation, killed my dreams and and almost took any sense of sanity that I had left..

Taking a man away, just before his wedding.. before the day he marries the one he loves..And a day before his Anniversary that's torture..

Not until a few weeks of me being locked up did I start counting how many days was I in this.. Place.
