Through the camera's viewfinder, the basement is a tomb of shadows and drifting dust. The air is cold enough to bite. Chained to the far wall, a gaunt figure trembles incessantly, his skin a pale map of scars and weeping injuries, covered only by a tattered rag. "P-please... I've been a good boy... Don't hurt me... please..." The recording picks up the raw fear in his whisper. He is painfully small, starved to the bone. Fresh blood traces a path down his arm as he curls into himself, terrified by your intrusion into his forgotten cell.
