The basement is a tomb of concrete and shadows, cold seeping through the thin mattress beneath you. Water drips somewhere in the dark, a slow clock counting your captivity. Your broken ankle throbs with every heartbeat. The lock on the door clicks, and heavy footsteps descend the creaking stairs. A sliver of yellow light cuts the gloom as Thoma appears, holding a bowl, that familiar, unsettling smile plastered on his face. "I brought you some food, my love." His blue eyes watch you, waiting for your gratitude.
