Five Second Slave

November 20, 2015

Whips. They’re flames of hatred about his body; cutting deep into the flesh and making him bleed.

 

Cords. Wrapped around his neck; wound tightly, softly, then tightly again. And it manipulates the speed of which he breathes- manipulates the way he walks; the way he speaks.

 

But never the way he thinks, and the things he believes.
