Sticky End

fourteen

            One o'clock, on the twenty fifth of December, Luhan walked under the heavy snow. He got what he jokingly wished for, a white Christmas. He let out fogs from his mouth every time he took a deep breath.

            He had no place to go, Xiumin threw him out and his apartment keys were with him. He was left to wander around the city. It was too cold... he needed to find a place to keep warmth. Maybe this is punishment for everything that he had done.

            He gave a painful smirk as he chuckled at himself, it wasn't even enough to be punishment. He wanted to be punished for everything he had done. For his selfish acts, his lustful feelings, and for making someone miserable for his sake, Luhan wanted to repent for everything.

            But damned how he would regret wishing for it...

            It was in an abandoned side of the town where he decided to stay in for the night, just for the sake of getting warmth. In an abandoned warehouse that was once a toy factory, Luhan went in and made himself comfortable as how he could've managed.

            Sheets, plastics, cans of beer and burnt foils were scattered upon the floor, but Luhan was too exhausted to even notice them piled up. It was then when he heard the door open, and came in a group of guys.

            As soon as they got in, Luhan hurriedly hid himself behind huge crates within the warehouse. From there he silently watched them. He was terrified to learn that the place was a hide out for drug addicts, and from the looks of it, they looked like they were already high.

            'Man, we should've gotten a pretty girl to play with for tonight'

            'Yeah, that's is entirely because of your ugly face's fault'

            'Fuck you'

            Then they started to laugh. Luhan couldn't stand being there anymore, the sight of them and the smell that came from whatever they were doing was unbearable. He wanted to leave and find another place to be.

            But when he was just about to move from his hiding spot, the door opened once more and another guy went in carrying a huge bag, as if he was Santa Claus. When the other guys saw him, they howled happily.

            The last guy placed the huge bag down at the centre of their circle. The others started to clean their mess up, and from each of their own bags they took out different kinds of instruments. Syringe, needles, scalpels and a platform used for dissecting was neatly set out in front of them. They all looked so happy seeing it.

            That was when the horror started. The last guy opened the bag carefully and took something out. A cat or more specifically a kitten that was white all over, only his paws were black. Upon seeing the innocent creature, Luhan grew terrified of his own imaginations.

            They played with the kitten for a while, until one of them took a metal bar and hit it hard on its head. The sound of the kitten's cry was painful it made Luhan cringe into a ball behind the crates. How could they do that?

            He took a peek once more, and saw the kitten being fondly experimented on. Different bottles were lined up, and with the syringe they took the liquid from it and injected all dose one by one to the kitten.

            It was dying, the helpless little kitten was dying in front of them and all they could do was snort while they laughed happily. Luhan's consciousness was eating him, he wanted to save it, but he was terrified.
