Did you ever wake up in a place where you’ve never been? I opened my eyes to find unfamiliar grounds. Where am I? How did I get here? I turned to my left. I see this man who looked disheveled. He was unshaven, torn clothes with filty nails. He had no shoes on his filthy feet, yet he was picking at his toenails. I wanted to throw up. He kept saying that he was the president of the United States, ye...

The whirlwind of the onyx slumber shattered. Vetyn gasped and choked to a hasty rouse, a lurid and pallid flare of light stinging her sight.

With a squint and bow, she spurned the grotesque assault with a hiss.

The air was redolent with bleach and lav...

I wake up from being unconscious, I’m blind folded I have no ability to see nor do I want to see who it is. My breath is shallow, I hear foot steps coming closer and closer.

“I’ll take the rag out of your mouth if you promise not to scream”

He pulls the rag out and I choke, I lick my lips.

“Is there something you want from me”

“You know what I want”

“ I don’t unless you specify what that is”

My vo...

Tilted head,

Devilish grin,

A drip of sweat trickled down his cheek.

“So you’re gonna

Kill me.”

It’s not said as a question.

A step closer,

The thump of his thick sole reverberates,

Filling the silent room.

“Yes”

His s is long, taunting.

“Why?”

Unbothered, flat.

He groans,

“Why not?”

He clears his throat and licks his lips.

Eyes are glued to each other.

“Well why don’t I just get up and w...

“Look, I know you may want to kill me, and I completely understand. A lot of people have wanted to kill me over the years, and you can believe me when I say that I’ve… disposed of every last one of them as necessary. I disposed of them because they were pests, imbeciles who got in the way of my happy life, like you. They all deserved to die in the torturous ways I had them die, so what makes you t...

_Why? Why did you have to be so reckless? Now you’re stuck here with a psycho! Are you kidding, Ally? This is your idea of a blind date? I am never doing this again._

“I’ll make you a deal,” says the masked psychopath, rolling up his grey sleeves. How can I trust him? “Tell me why I should let you go.” His proposition catches me off guard; he must just want some entertainment. I shake my hea...

“Look, mate, you don’t wanna be doing this!”

“Why not, darling?”

“Look, whatever happened to make you…like this, that’s in the past now. Whatever happened I’ve probably been there as well! I’ve been in most situations like this surprisingly and although you don’t wanna admit it, we might have a lot in common.

You see, when I was younger, my dad would always send me up to my room at 7:00pm at ni...

“You have family, right? So do I. You want to kill me, right? So do I. I also have feelings, don’t you? How do you feel if you want to kill me right now? Would it make you happy? Would you gain something from it?” I say holding my hands up as if to surrender, but talking to a killer is the greatest distraction.

“It would certainly make my life easier, because it would mean you’re no longer in my...
