"Nature is full of such illusions to impress the imaginative." - H. P. Lovecraft In a lone dark place, away from the prying of civilization, deep down beneath the kingdom of rats, was a dimly lit room. Nothing was on it. Except for a rather unpleasant scenery. A woman strapped tightly on a shabby torture rack, with her was a psychopatic being with an obvious devious track on mind. He tells her stories. Stories that will keep her company for a while. But will she even be alive before it all ends? ----Complete-----
