Voice From the Shadows

In no more than twelve hours you will understand this pain. Until then, I will keep you in confinement. You will have no food, no water, no social contact, and you will be denied sleep. In twelve hours you will know what I went through. You will know the pain I was caused. I shall teach you what such cruelty can do, what it can lead to. Then, maybe, if you live, you won’t question any more. Just maybe you’ll understand what this is. This won’t be fun for you. Enjoy it. I know I will.

The lights go out.

  • So far, this has been my favourite of the day.
    I love the eerie atmosphere you created and structure was brilliant.

    Great job.

    Whoa...eerie is the word coming to mind here. Wonderfully done, and you've created a nice, haunting aura (vengeful?) here.

    Mwahahahaha! This makes me think of that movie "The Saw" for some reason. It’s a good build up. What tortures might be unleashed? Mwahahahaha!

    Congrats on your silver trophy. There were a lot of good entrys so that is quite a compliment for the contest holder to give you!

    Oh now this was good.

    I agree with Purplelipra it also reminded me of the part in the movie V For Vendetta (my fav. movie).

    This was good though.
    I find myself needing more of it...wanting to know what happens next. What WOULD happen next.

    Excellent job, as always.

    This is somewhere between submissive anticipation and maybe something a kidnappee would go through at the hands of her captor. I also think this reminds me of V for Vendetta when he was trying to program the fear out of her. You're hitting a lot of old notes today. Aside from my weird associations, I think it was well-written and intriguing. Will you continue?

    Wow, Missy.. the words are so commanding, so "in charge" - I found myself just imagining how that person came to BE what s/he is... It HAS been said that to understand the person, you have to understand his or her pains...

    The ending has this feel of impending doom, and everything fading into darkness was just... *shivers run down my spine*

    Thank you for sharing this with us!
