Whumpuary Prompt set 1: Captivity 100 words

Characters: Scott

Warnings: Angst

Scott sat at the desk, head in his hands.

He couldn't do this.

Not again.

But he had to.

He had brothers to care for.

A multimillion-dollar business to run.

A barely up-and-running rescue business.

No time to grieve.

He needed to be strong.

Be like Dad.

An overwhelming feeling of being caged in, of being held captive suddenly swamped him.

*'You'll never be free now, Scott. Your family and your father's businesses will hold you captive forever.'*

No. He loved his family, *they* weren't captivity.

He needed to be strong.

Like Dad.

He already knew he never would be.
