DARK

Blink.

Again.

Again.

Black.

Pitch. Jet. Ebony. Blind?

No. A sliver of light. Left to Right. Floor. Under a door? Yes. The door.

Scuffling sounds, off to my right. Rat!

Away. Must get away.

Can't. Arms, legs heavy. Cot. Tied.

Blink.

Breathe. Swallow. Pounding heart.

Quiet, then footsteps.

Blinding images, fast and insistent. My madness. Go away! A girl. A man, hovering over the girl. Another in the doorway, jangling keys, admonishing. Hurry up, he says. Teeth. Throat. Blood. Fire.

Keys in my door. More light. Trapped.

Key man speaks. Are you ready for the visitor I promised you, girl?
