Entombed in a coffin of black. Chains too cumbersome for any young boy. The sounds of the living upstairs my only clock. An invisible timepiece.

Why me? What had I done to warrant such barbaric treatment? Was being born my crime? Did I not deserve each breath I took? Apparently not.

I listened and waited for the footsteps I knew would come, attempting to moisten my parched mouth by swallowing successively. Water had been left the day before. Somewhere. A place I was meant to blindly search for. A game to keep me in line. Discipline, the evil called it. Starved and shackled so that I would never, ever accidentally drop my food again. Food that had cost money. Which didn’t grow on trees. I needed to go without in order to learn a lesson.

While being starved and beaten was abhorrent, the consuming darkness was the worst. It suffocated me. Taunted me as if it were a living thing. Fear weighed me down when I was left in the nothingness. The hollow. Curled into a tight ball to keep warm was the only time I felt mildly safe. Tightly folded in on myself, counting my heartbeats and breaths. Sniveling like a baby. The void of the cellar had opened its gigantic arms and swallowed me whole. It would break me. That was a fact I knew better than my own name. My hatred for the evil had begun to devour me, feeding on my soul.
