BLOOD GARDEN

Book II

Prologue:

Seeds Sown

He had no name, not a real one at least. Pig reminded him of that often, although he had at least managed to convince Pig that he wasn’t Goose or Chicken or Veal. He still had at least that much dignity.

Dignity, of course, was a completely foreign concept here. He knew he would have no choice but to utterly let go of it at some point in the future. How far in the future he couldn’t say, since he had no way of keeping track of time. The sounds of distant water dripping off stalactites were the closest thing he had to the tick of a clock. Sometimes he got it in his head that he would count the drips and get some idea of how much time passed, but there was no point. Nothing ever happened, so there was no need to know how long it would be until nothing happened again.

The other reason there was no point to counting the drips was that most of the time he couldn’t hear them anyway over the moans and wails and screams of his fellow captives. All up and down the long row of three-foot by three-foot cages they babbled and whispered to themselves. In his current position relatively close to the exit the captives were quieter. Farther down, though, were the ones who had been here for longer. And the longer they all huddled fearfully in the dark, waiting for the moment when they would finally be taken through the roughly-made door at the end of the darkened cave, the more insane they became.

He wasn’t sure how long ago he had given up on ever escaping, but even locked here in his cage, covered in his own filth and fed sporadically on the blood of mangy stray animals, he still had not reached the point where he wanted to go through that far door. No one that had ever gone through it had come back out. No one except the nightmarish guards and Pig, that was, and the stories he told only enforced his desire to stay slumped in this cage like an animal for longer, so long as it didn’t mean becoming “ripe” and going on to the next step.

As Pig babbled his nonsense in the cage next to him (he thought it was to his left, but sometimes he thought Pig was to his right. With almost no light to see by he sometimes got turned around in his cage and didn’t even know which direction he was facing) he became aware of another voice nearby, a new one. He turned in the direction he thought it came from and squinted, trying to get some vague shape in his vision to associate the voice with. It was a woman in the spot for the newest arrivals near the end of the row. She sounded like she was talking to someone, or at least thought she was talking to someone. The cage she looked to be facing appeared empty, though.
