A sudden gust of wind blows on top of him, sending shivers travelling from the bottom of his spine to the top of his head. Awakening, his eyes slowly open. As his vision slowly starts to unblur, he proceeds to survey his surroundings with his eyes. A pool of blood surrounds the man, the smell of iron mingling with the smell of dust and rotten wood containers filled his nostrils. With the sight of a sandbag and multiple ropes, it became apparent that he was a victim of a kidnapping. His limbs, clearly abused to the point of unrecognition, bending at horrid angles furthermore burned so severely that the surrounding skin turned into a crispy black substance.

The decapitated head was no longer anywhere near sight however this time you see a glint of light emanating from the side of the girl. She was carrying a new pair of unseemingly large pliers. Inching, closer and closer the girl picks up the man’s hand and proceeds to rip out every single nail one by one. The pain courses through every fiber of the man’s body. The waves of pain send the man into a state of agony and anguish almost causing him to faint. “Please, no more….” the man begged with tears flowing down his face. The little girl grins and with her soft voice tells the man, “We’re just getting started.” Moments pass and the girl had once again left to take her next

I traipsed my way over and into the barn, un-cautiously looking around for the clumsy oaf practically begging for aid. Then it happened.
