Hunched Figures
Sunday, August 10th, 2014 01:46 amJust to warn you, this is my first public attempt at a fanfic. I like it, so I think you will too. Enyoy!
The dim light light flickered, the flames of a couple of torches reaching for the precious oxygen. Your hands, you feel them roughly bound in thick jute. Your throat hurts, evident of multiple days of going without water. It finally crosses your mind to see where you are.
You're in a dungeon, well kept and well used. Counting quickly, you see at least five more shadows, denoting at least as many fellow inmates.
Hoarsely calling out, the faces of fellow Mindcrackers ignoring the noise. Twisting, you find the rest behind you, but they're not moving.
Taking attendance, you quickly check off names from the roster, Millbee's by the eastern wall, PSJ to your left, Aurey dead ahead, so on and so forth, till there's one missing. Counting one more time, yes, everyone's here, but...
All thoughts trail off as a hollow thud echos around the room, and steps coming toward your ragtag family.
You collapse, deciding to play dead, instead of facing whatever managed to capture all 29. Or was it 27? Your thoughts race out of control with panic, sensing the approach of the mighty entity.
You feel a slight tugging in the nape of your neck, a drawing out. Your mind instinctively tries to keep grasp of its carnal home as your psyche is ripped out, into a new reality.
One thought, becoming a battle cry, suspended through the mental pain, aloud and a shout: PAUSE!
Shall I continue???
