Sam's Calling...

She woke up and everything was upside down. To her, at least. She heard room shaking, classical music.

"Ah, now you're awake. I've been waiting forever." A man said. A voice she had grown very fond of.

She soon realized she was hanging upside down with a gag in her mouth.

"You probably know why you're here. If not, I'll help jog your memory." Looking at the man, she watched him pick up a black package of knives. The girl felt her blouse being cut open. She shivered as cold wind grazed her bare stomach.

"Oh, don't you just love Beethoven? This is one of my favorite symphonies. I tend to enjoy slow and delicate things. Fun fact: I played this in my 9th grade piano recital. I was the only person in the Northeast chosen to attend Horma School of Arts. It was my lucky day. Until a motorcyclist ran over my fingers. He said it was an accident. I said the same thing when I removed his limbs, one by one.

"Mon chéri, I have big plans for us tonight. Just wait and see." She listened to the blasting music to distract herself from the madman's speech.

He dragged a knife down her torso stopping at her neck. "It would be a shame if I.. accidentally.. slit your throat right now." He chuckled heartily. Removing the knife from her body, he swung it around dancing to the beat. Her shivering had stopped, but a new wave of shudders had come along.

Humming sweetly, he casually threw the knife into the door. "Let's get started, shall we?" He plucked the knife from the wood and thrusted it into her hanging thigh.
