Shadow Of The Mist

Y wakes up, feeling a constant pain all over his body. He hasn't eaten in days and gets a cup of water each day. He is nearly 3 years in here. It's nearly like a home but at the same time like hell. Everyday he's hearing terrifying screams from outside and he's in constant pain because of his hunger and thirst. It got better over the last months, doesn't hurt as much as before, but it's still painfull. He is probably 4 years old, nobody knows. He came here as a baby. He doesn't even know his name, so they called him Y. He never used it himself, but got used to get called like that. The men in the masks call him like that when they talk to him. Sometimes to threaten him, sometimes to teach him, but most of the time, to order him around. They treat him like a brainless piece of trash

If he hasn't been in a big cell with a lot of a.d.u.l.ts before, he would prabably be a just that. The a.d.u.l.ts in the other cell tought him how to talk and a bit of knowledge about the outside world. He saw them write some stuff on the ground, but they didn't teach him to write or read, so he didn't understand anything. He remembers some things from the past, like other children in the cells and how the a.d.u.l.ts in the other cell first started to disappear. Every now and then they got dragged out by the masked men, trying to resist. They were to weak, dehydrated and hungry, because of the circ.u.mstances. His attention gets caught by the sound of the opening of the lock. Its time for the daily water. Y tries to stand up, but is too weak to stand without leaning his back against the wall. His empty eyes look straight at the mask of the man. The man puts the cup on the ground and closes the door. Y goes slowly to the cup, drinking it greedily without hesitation. After a few seconds he drops the cup to the ground and goes back to the corner he came from. That is his daily routine. Waking up, waiting, getting his water, waiting, going to sleep and so on and so on. The only thing that happened from time to time was that the masked men came and started to humiliate him, ordering him around. He hears the sound of the lock a second time and instantly knew that they were bored again. The door opens and three masked men enter the cell, all looking at Y. One of the men starts to speak with a harsh voice '' Kid, do what we say, and you maybe get another cup of water tomorrow'' The other two start to laugh. Y answers with a hoarse voice '' what do you want?'' One of them takes out a blade and whispers '' just scream for us'' Panic shines in Y's eyes. What are they gonna do to him? The one that started the conversation and the third man rush to him, pressing him on the ground. He tries to resist, but a four-year-old cant do anything against two a.d.u.l.ts. Slowly the man with the blade approaches him, saying a single sentence. '' if you scream loud enough, you won't just get water but some bandages too'' After he finished his sentence he pushes his knife without the slightest hesitation in Y's right leg. Y can't endure the pain and immedeately starts to scream. The masked man pulls out his knife and starts to laugh. Y kicks the mans balls screaming. The man bends forward and breathes heavily. ''That was very stupid'' The angry man starts to cut and slash Y's whole body. He starts at his legs, goes up to his arms, turns him around for his back and ends with his upper body when he is satisfied. A few minutes before the man stopps Y stopped screaming. He just lies there, motionless. A few remaining tears roll down his cheeks. The man and his friends get bored and kick him a last time before leaving. Y knew they were violent, but they never used any weapons or actually tortured him. His breathing is getting weak, as he slowly closes his eyes. A short moment before everything gets dark, he hears a voice. The non-human voice says one thing before he loses his consciousness. [achievement unlocked]
