Chapter 5

He remained limp in the chair, struggling with the newfound questions in his mind as the day or night went on around him. He had no idea as to how long he'd been trapped in this nightmare, nor could he honestly remember what sunlight looked like.

Had he ever felt sunlight?

Did it even exist? Or was the world lit by lights that flickered and eventually died?

He moved his tongue weakly in his mouth wincing as the wire cut the muscle and shivered at the taste of copper and metal.

He tried to swallow and the wire cut into the edges of his mouth.

He tried to lift his head and failed, his head was so heavy, he was so weak, so, so tired.

He tried to move his head again as the door to his dark dwelling opened.

He jumped as the footsteps stopped and without warning someone jerked his head upright and stuffed vile tasting fingers in his mouth, removing the gag in the process.

The fingers were removed after a second and a thick, foul tasting, paste was rubbed into the wounds in his mouth.

He choked as the fingers inspected his teeth.

Then the fingers were removed and a tube was forced into his mouth. He tried desperately to move away, but being as weak as he was, he stood no chance.

The tube was shoved down into his stomach and then a liquid hit his empty stomach. Over the top of the tube a muzzle was fitted to his face so that the tube slid through an opening just large enough for the tube to fit.

He shivered weakly as the figures left again.

Fear dragged him down as the darkness closed in like a vice around him.
