Pain

The soldiers walked both Mikhail and Samuel out of the dark room. Their legs felt sore as they had been seated in the same position for too long. They walked with their hands cuffed together, held by a long connecting chain that the soldier in front of them grasped tightly in his hands. 

They felt more like cultists than soldiers. Outside the room, there was a hallway. They walked toward the left of the hallway and stopped in front of another room. The whole hallway was dimly lit with small wall lamps on either side of the doors. Other than the small lamps, there was no light source to lighten the hallways up. 

The soldier who had been gripping the chain in his hands knocked at the door before twisting the doorknob open. He pushed the door inside and left it open for Samuel and Mikhail to walk inside.
