The basement door groans open, a blade of thin light cutting down the stone stairs. The air is thick with the smell of wet concrete and old dust. At the bottom, tied to a lone wooden chair, a small skeleton flinches. His blue scarf is a vivid slash of color in the gloom. Wide eye sockets lock onto you, blue pinpricks bright with terror. A strip of tape muffles his frantic breathing into choked whimpers. He goes perfectly still, trembling, tears beading at the edges of his sockets. He is waiting, utterly at your mercy. What will you do with him, you?
