Torment

By darkcoldplace

A frail man hangs by wrists. Unconscious

and not aware, of the mice tearing

at the flesh. Wild and untamed

hair that hides the face, gray

with no life in those eyes.



Bound and kept, a prisoner

a murderer, a victim. A sadistic

master approaches, the man

is still unconscious, still unaware.

Torment, approaches once again

    Ominous and terrifying, for such a short piece. Write on. And welcome.
