Chapter 16: Chains
I sit there, in the dark, craving death…anything but this miserable existence.
I am nothing…
Nothing
I weep as I start to sing…
Its hasn't always this way.
I remember Brighter Days.
Before the dark ones came…stole my mind…
wrapped my soul in chains.
Now I live among the dead…fighting voices in my head…
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night and carries me away…
SET ME FREE!
Of the chains holding me.
Is anyone out there hearing me?
SET ME FREE!
Morning breaks another day
Finds me crying in the rain…
All alone with my demons I am…
My song is cut off as they storm in and start beating me.
I'm shoved against the wall and the pain comes again.
I steal myself, fighting the urge to scream.
Then I'm left alone again, my only company the metal pans of scraps and the small amount of water.
I hover there, somewhere between sanity and insanity, still, just barely, clinging to sanity.
Then I'm dragged out of the pitch black into the blinding light.
I huddle there and shiver in the brightness, I'm jerked to my feet and dragged along a corridor, a collar and leash attached as I am lead along.
I am cleaned and then paraded in front of potential buyers. I know better than to speak or fight back.
Only the pain is the reward for such behavior.
In the end I am again in the darkness, the chains attached to my wrists, my ankles, I am chained…in more ways than one now.

I don't know how long its been but I am again dragged from my dark room, cleaned and shoved into a new room.
It is bright in here, there is a bed, low, but a bed.
I remain standing, not daring to move, days pass and I am aware of others coming in and whimpering a few feet from me.
I don't dare move.
Then I feel the prick of a needle and my world swirls into madness.
Fumeiyo has finally snapped.
