Deadly Temptations

I don’t know how long I’ve been here. There is no clear way of telling time. Could be an hour. Could be several. All I know is that the pain is terrible. The slices and gashes on my body burn and hurt. Trying to keep the flies off me is even worse. 


I’m growing increasingly more doubtful that Anthony even knew I was taken. Who would hate me this much to torture me? Or am I just that unlucky? 


I couldn’t even think properly as I normally would because of the pain. I shiver violently and whimper. They’d moved me to another room while I was unconscious. I'm now in a different dark room. I can see light underneath the doorway this time as well. 


It no longer reeks of rotten flesh and my feet are pressed against dirt floors. I guess I had been moved to a basement. They shackled me to the floor and left me sitting there fully naked.
