Tracy's Day Out

Tracy woke bound. The sharp and rusted springs she laid upon dug into her back. When she licked her tongue around her mouth she realized every tooth had been pulled, and blood clogged her mouth. Her body had been bruised, and her bones had been shattered. Her mind was a frazzled mess. When she tried to move, her bones creaked and broke. She saw hundreds of dangling light bulbs on the ceiling, and heard someone fiddling with metal tools in the far corner. She tried to scream “HELP!” but it came out “Mellllp!” Someone turned and started toward her, but it wasn't someone, it was a thing, a massive mountain maroon figure. It said. “Don’t you move a muscle. If you move, you will ruin everything, because I will have to kill you quickly.”Tracy knew she wouldn't live to see her thirtieth birthday.
