Tonight's Entertainment

"Fuck you!" I scream, as the whip comes down to lick off another piece of my flesh. I'm Chained naked to a cold marble floor in a large ballroom. Rich aristocrats are standing around chatting while drinking their expensive champagne. Only a few are watching me, an amused look on their faces. I am background entertainment, a clown to amuse those not engaged in conversation.

The man with the black hood sends the whip down on me again, taking flesh from my cheek, and causing my nose to crack. My agony is on show, my screams are constant. Blood gushes from my body and a pool of it is gathering around me.

One of the fat rich ladies gets too close and starts to tiptoe around my blood like it's dog shit. I leap as far as my leg chains will allow and wrap the chains on my wrists around her neck, pulling her to the floor. I stick one thumb in her eye and smash her skull with a fist full of steel, not stopping until our pools of blood meet.

The crowd applauds while the whip comes down again, taking me in the throat, and silencing my screams.
