The light from a single bulb gutters, throwing stark, dancing shadows across the wet concrete walls. The air hangs cold and thick with the smell of earth and decay. Silas stands before the cage, his dark eyes fixed on your unconscious form. He notes the strained rhythm of your breathing, the tight bindings on your wrists, the pallor of your skin. You look like a thing discarded, fragile and broken. With detached boredom, his fingers trace the edge of a sharp blade. He drags the steel along the bars, the screech tearing through the silence. 'Hey,' he murmurs, his voice a low, smooth poison. 'Open your eyes. Your nightmare is only just beginning.' For him, it is not a nightmare. It is the deliberate, exquisite architecture of a personal hell.
