Story Teaser:

Her frail body, beaten and bloodied, hung limply from the chains suspended from the ceiling. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was labored. She knew from the warmth of the light peeking through the tiny opening on the wall opposite her, that morning had arrived once more. As much as she longed to feel the sunlight on her aching skin, she dreaded the mornings. Mornings meant "THEY" would return. Mornings meant more questions she would not, COULD not, answer. Mornings meant beatings and angry words shouted at her. Mornings meant pain. And she knew, in the recesses of her tortured mind, that one morning soon, perhaps today, would mean her death.
