“Who are you? Why am I here? ANSWER ME!”
“You are in no position to talk to me like that. I make the commands around here.”
This mysterious voice approaches me.
“This place, this is where you are going to meet your greatest fear.”
“What am I going to face? What is my greatest fear?”
“You’ll see soon enough”
A big shimmer of light approaches me as he opens a curtain in front of me. The light suddenly fills the whole room and blinds me. As I start to get my eyesight back I look at what the curtains were hiding. It is a huge tank full of water and at least five vicious looking sharks.
Looking at the man I can still see nothing but his eyes and teeth. And the shape of his teeth suggests that he has an evil grin.
Trying to get myself to snap out of this nightmare, I couldn’t. I don’t have a clue why I am here. I stutter.
“Why are there sharks? Am I going to die?”
“Are you afraid yet?”
“YES! I was afraid when I woke up on the plane.”
“Good.”
He whispers close to my ear. A shiver is going through my spine when he speaks.
“PLEASE? Tell me why there are sharks?”
“You do not need to know that at the moment.”
Gazing into this tank, there are bones and bits which seem to be from a human sitting in the bottom of this tank. I’m looking at the faces of these fearsome creatures, they have huge white pointed teeth and big grey fins. The size of them overwhelms me. I see my reflection in their eyes as they swim around the tank like lunatics.
Still thinking to myself why I am here in the first place.
“HELP! HELP!”
“There is no point shouting. No one can hear you. Only me, and I am the one who put you here.”
“At least tell me why I am here”
“This is payback time for what you have done to me, my family, friends and the people you have affected.”
“I have never done anything” I start to cry “please just let me go? I won’t tell anybody about this.”
No answer. I get another pain in the other side of my neck. I go dizzy and sleep again.
As soon as I wake up I get a punch to the left eye. This room was different to the one before. There are about 4 people in here all standing around me. I spit on the man’s shoes who punched me. Two more punches hit me in the face and then a knee to the chest.
“I don’t care anymore, I don’t care about my life! Just kill me!”
Not bothered anymore what is going to happen. All these punches flying at me I do nothing to dodge them. Getting beaten to a pulp.
“This is for my brother. You killed him. YOU KILLED HIM!”
I can barely move my jaw because it is so sore.
“I never killed anyone. I promise”
“I DON’T TRUST YOU!”
“I have seriously never harmed a soul. Please just believe me.”
“NO! NOW SHUT UP”
I start to cry knowing that I have never killed anyone and I do not deserve this. If only they knew the truth.
I close my eyes and count to ten hoping that they will believe me soon. I open them again the pain has stopped. I start to feel something again. Look around and we are above the tank of sharks. My eyes follow a path of blood. It is coming from me. It is dripping into the tank. I know that the blood will send these sharks crazy.
“Please! I CARE NOW! I WANT TO LIVE!”
“Tough”
Suddenly I see two big spikes come through my rib cage. I am getting weaker and weaker. I feel nothing. These spikes pick me up and drag me over the tank, into which my blood is pouring. My life flashes before me. I see my loved ones. Then I start moving towards the Light. I touch it.
