The man with the gag over his mouth fiddled frantically with the rope that held his hands behind his back. He didn’t know what was coming, just that he had to get free before it came.

 

The stench of chloroform certainly wasn’t helping his headache. He had woken from a drugged sleep a few minutes ago to find himself alone in the middle of an empty room, tied to a chair beneath a blinding lamp.

 

He yanked hard at the rope as the sound of footsteps got closer.

 

A masked figure slowly emerged from the shadows. In its hand was an aluminum baseball bat.

 

The man gaped in horror at the bat. This can’t be happening! Why is this happening?!

 

The figure just stood there, silently staring. The man looked up timidly and noticed tears staining the face of his captor’s black ski mask.

 

“I... I hurt you, didn’t I?” sobbed the mysterious person in a man’s voice. “I didn’t mean to... I’m so sorry.”

 

The man in the chair stared blankly. What in the... okay, fine. Whatever. He tugged sneakily at the rope. We can certainly talk about this once I’m untied.

 

The masked man sank to his knees, wiping his eyes and sniveling. “I feel like the worst scum that ever lived.”

 

Yes, well, I suppose you may have a point there-.

 

His finger slipped through the loosening knot. Yes!

 

“I wish I could take it all back... every word I shouted, every time I hit you.” He wiped his eyes again and looked down at the floor. “I know I can’t fix this.” he whispered.

 

Who is this guy? I know I’ve heard that voice before-.

 

“I overreacted. You hurt me, and I was mad. I felt betrayed, like you had planned it all along. You seemed so carefree after what you said and did, as if I just didn’t matter. I was crushed, Chris, and you didn’t mind.”

 

The man in the mask raised his head and glared at Chris.

 

“How could you be so dark and evil? What did I do to deserve it? Nothing! I never meant you any ill!”

 

The knot was almost off. This is ridiculous! What is he talking about?

 

The man stood up suddenly and wiped his eyes again, this time in anger.

 

“You don’t deserve my patience. You deserve my wrath, and you’re gonna get it.”

 

Oh crap! Please come off-!

 

The rope dropped away. Chris started to stand...

 

But he was restrained by a second rope that bound his elbows just as securely.

 

The man raised the bat.

 

“So tell me, ‘friend’ - was it worth it?”

Hmm.. I like it-but isn't this supposed to be in Tanki forum? I don't see how this involves Tanki.

Lovely, he didn't even remember what he did.

 

Not the nicest ending, is it a "to-be-continued"?

Am I supposed to feel as if my life is meaningless and about to end abruptly?
