BROKEN FRAME
A/N: This is the idea I have been speaking of for some time now. I must warn you that in the last few chapters (not too sure how many there will be in total), there will be major angst. I will speak more of that when the time comes. Enjoy :)
Prologue:
A full moon hung over the eerie land, and somewhere nearby an owl hooted mournfully. Breaking through the clouds, a ray shone down into one cell and pooled onto the cold floor, sectioned by the four metal bars that served as a window.
He sat calmly on his bed, patiently waiting for morning to arrive. In just a few hours he would walk out of this god-forsaken place a free man. Then he would get his revenge.
Revenge. The word sucked at him like a leech, burying into his veins and taking over his brain. It was clear his insanity had snapped at some point during his captivity. His eye twitched manically, fingers tapping gently on the tiny metal sink, and his breath came out in rasps. The other prisoners stayed well clear of him, knowing how dangerous a temper he held. One minute he could be laughing, the next beating a fellow inmate until he passed out.
A spider crawled out from the corner, seemingly ignoring the man who had barely moved since returning to his cell. A swift flash of metal, and the arachnid was impaled on the tip of the knife. He snickered gleefully as he watched the creature's life wither away.
"Revenge!"
