Mr Alden Monologue

*Slash* he feels the blade of the knife cuts through the first layer of his back's skin. He screeches in pain, and a single tear escapes his left eye. *Slash* another cut slices in the opposite direction on his flesh, which paints a bloody “X” on his back. He starts to feel streams of blood running down his thin sheet of skin out of the freshly sliced cuts and drenching his shirt with spots of blood.
