Sound of Lost Hope

  I always used to think that as long as you keep your hope alive through the worst of times you might eventually reach a light at the end that makes your suffering worth it.

  Guess I was wrong.

  ***

  I don’t know where I am I don’t know where here is, the first thing I heard when I woke up was the buzzing of flies

  I was covered in shit,

  I was shit,

  That’s what it felt like being chained in a dark errie basement

  It didn’t take long to realize I was someone’s slave.

  Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why! I shouted this for days

  Why!?

  My screams echoing across these walls of my despair, of my hate

  Why?

  That’s all I want to know.

  Why me.

  After a week or so I’d been starved to the point of death,

  My will broken

  My mind in despair, I didn’t have the strength to even speak

  After another week had passed

  Someone came and fed me, it was a man dressed in black his entire eyes were back

  He stared into my eyes and started muttering something, but I couldn’t hear

  The flies kept buzzing in my ears

  After he finished his muttering, he left with a satisfied look on his face

  The next day he came in and beat me

  Broke my jaw and ribs

  I took it in silence.

  This happened every day after that

  I hate it I hate it I hate it.

  Is this hell? I thought. What sin did I commit to deserve this?

  The goddamn flies won’t stop buzzing in my ear.

  I want to die.

  ***

  “Slave!” my master Pedria shouted

  I’ve been here two months and that bastard hasn’t even asked for my name.

  “slave!”, I’m calling you

  

  Why have you taken so long to come?

  "Master I…” I started to

   He hits me again

  Do not explain yourself to me slave

  “I have called you for………”

  Day by day I was given excruciating tasks designed to further break my will

  It was as though he was more interested in breaking me to my very last fiber than owning a slave,

  He succeeded.

  “Is that clear, Slave?” Pedria finished

  I nod in silence and pull out an orb

  “Where did you get…”

  His voice drowned out by the buzzing in my ear

  The rest I don’t want to remember.

  The buzzing stopped.
