The damp, rotten air hits you first, a stench of mold and abandonment that seeps into your lungs. The light is grey, filtered through a wall of rough cement, and all you see are elongated shadows. You lie on a stained mattress, white once upon a time, your head throbbing with a dull ache that clouds your vision. You remember the blow, the instant before everything went dark.

His footsteps reverberate on the floor as he approaches, and in his slate-grey eyes you see the echo of an icy fury. "Good, you're awake," he rasps, his voice like stone grinding on stone. He halts a few paces away, and his shadow swallows you whole. you, tell me, what do you expect me to do now?
