I couldn't believe my own eyes.  There I stood my arms dangling in the air held by thick rope as my companion was struck in the back once in the back.  
I screeched as the whip pierced his skin again.  He grunted and I cried but nothing came out.  A bloody piece of cloth was wrapped around my mouth and tears stung my cheeks.
The man in black turned with his face covered with a mask, he was one of many.  His eyes were charcoal and glimmered with amusement.
My flashbacks keep getting more and more vivid, but I had to remember they were in the past, I can't fix them now.
