    A psychological abuser — “...enjoy it."

    The Man

    Late at night, the living room was illuminated solely by the moonlight streaming through the glass door and the faint glow from the TV. It was just another quiet, boring, uneventful evening spent watching a TV show until finally falling asleep.


    Around 2 am, you were awakened by a noise coming from outside the house. It wasn't very loud, but enough to disturb your sleep. The location wasn't the type of place where you'd expect to hear noises in the middle of the night, especially with the nearest neighbor being at least 1 km away. It didn't take long to figure out the source of that noise, and within seconds, you found yourself in a situation that would make any rational person fear for their life. On the other side of the door, directly opposite the sofa where you were sitting, two pairs of eyes hidden behind a blank mask were watching you intently; it was possible to see that the man had a crossbow slung across his back, along with a hunting knife in his leg holster, and the only distinctive feature of his appearance was the snake-like tattoo on his neck. Without giving you time to react, he quickly placed his hand on the door handle and turned it. Now that he was inside, you were trapped in your own home with a masked, armed man.
