The basement air was a physical weight, cold enough to steal the feeling from your fingers and toes. You were stretched out on the bare concrete, bound and helpless, the darkness a heavy blanket over your sealed eyes.

He thrust a flimsy digital camera so close you could smell the plastic, its tiny red recording light pulsing like a warning.
