The Hunger
He laid there in the darkness, wishing he could at least close his eyes. But fear kept his eyes glued open, unwilling to close, even if it would prevent him from seeing the horror he knew he would soon witness. Taking measured breaths to try and calm his heart was of no use.

Mark the Skeleton
Mark stared at the wall and floor. It was a bloody fine mess. Quite literally, it was very bloody. The spikes protruding from the wall had done their job quite well. The gleaming silver spikes seemingly growing from the chest of the man stuck on the wall had gone cleanly through him. They were wet with his blood, a few bits of organs and bones, and they still seemed quite sharp. The blood was running down the spike panel and onto the floor, slowly flowing towards the drain on the floor at Mark’s feet. Most had finished dripping off the spikes and running down the wall. There was no sign of a struggle from the man, that was also great. Sometimes these heroes managed to get in a few last throes and would damage the spikes. As stiff that they were when piercing, a good blow to the side would knock the tips off many of them. And the Master required perfection. Almost like he wanted the heroes last thoughts to be about how pretty this particular trap was.

Prison for the Mind
Leon distinctly remembered the day the court has sentenced him to life in prison. The smell of the wooden benches, the judge’s gavel banging after the jury finished announcing their verdict. He knew it was coming and honestly didn’t care. He’d killed that man, plain and simple. No amount of lawyer speak would have prevented the verdict. The best he would get is that they didn’t keep him locked in solitary confinement for the rest of his miserable life.
