Line 5:
The room I was in was pitch black so I couldn't see a damn thing. The only two senses that I was aware of were sound and feel. I ''heard'' the incessant ringing in my ears and I ''felt'' my head throbbing. As the annoying buzzing died down and I began to regain my sight, I could see someone walking around and I could hear murmuring.
 
“Afternoon"Afternoon, Mr. Doyle..."
 
I never responded.
 
" I said good afternoon... Mr. Doyle!" my probable captor said impatiently.
 
I still never responded and my gracious captor grunted and slammed the door, wherever it was, behind him.
Line 25:
In heaps, there were bodies. Some of them dead, but many of there were... ''half'' alive. They all, at one time or another, suffered and I was sure of at least that fact. Which isn't saying much. When the lights turned on all those alive instantly turned their heads toward me. Their skeletal faces hardly resembled anything that could have been at the very least ''once'' human. If they even had eyes anymore they were so far sunken back into their sockets they looked like black pits. Their skin was so tight around their bones that I was expecting the skin to tear altogether. That is, if the necrosis hadn't already done that. The smell of shit, piss, and rot was overwhelming. Even through the window.
 
“You"You've found them... don't think anything of it. They're worthless."
 
The sudden crackle of the intercom turning on had startled me.
Line 55:
''Okay, random as this is... this could be useful,'' I said to myself in a whisper.
 
No more than two minutes later the walkie talkie came to life and my captor said, “I"I saw you, you know. I let you live."
 
I never responded.
 
“I"I'm behind you, I'm always behind you."
 
Still, my silence was stern.
Line 67:
At least I knew where he was most of the time. I followed him. When he walked through a threshold I waited outside the door and spoke into the walkie talkie for the first time.
 
“The"The place forms a circle... or at least something that resembles a circle, doesn't it?" I asked, semi rhetorically.
 
“Ah"Ah, it speaks," the asshole said quite condescendingly.
 
“Shut"Shut up and answer the damn question," I barked sternly.
 
“Yes"Yes... it does."
 
“Well"Well... then that means I'm always behind YOU doesn't it?" This time my question was definitely rhetorical.
 
There was a dead silence on the other end. I smirked as I could hear frantic rustling and banging from within the room. My captor came out in a hurry, looking both ways in a panic. And when he looked my way I knocked him out cold with a couple of hard blows to the face.
Line 85:
Then, from around a corner I didn't even notice, turned the ''fucking masky''.
 
“HOW"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET OUT OF THERE?" I demanded furiously.
 
This time ''he'' didn't respond.
