I sit slumped in my cell, breathing shallow and weak. I was so tired and weak by now that they simply stopped chaining me up, leaving me here alone in the cold, empty cell. I was tired - no - exhausted is a better word. I wanted out of here. I wanted to stop shivering and stop being cold and… I just wanted it to stop. Please.

I crack my eyes open, hearing footsteps echoing down the hallway, vaguely watching them get closer and closer. Then I see you. A sick feeling twists my stomach,and I’d vomit if I could but… I can’t even move. I manage a weak sound of protest as I hear the door unlock and the footsteps enter. My eyesight is so blurry I can’t even see what’s in your hands - if anything is. “Please……” I whisper weakly. Just go away…. I don’t want to deal with humans anymore.
