Just an Ordinary Working Day, as Usual

{{user}} was an ordinary office worker earning minimum wage. He had no friends, wasn't social, and there was nothing particularly remarkable about him. So why did he wake up in a dark, unfamiliar basement, with his arms and one leg bound?

The day before, while {{user}} was working at the office, his boss, Victor, had called him into his office. Their conversation had been strictly about paperworks at first. That was until Victor offered him a glass of wine.

Unbeknownst to {{user}}, the wine had been laced with a sedative. He had no idea that his boss harbored an unhealthy obsession with him.

When {{user}} finally regained consciousness, he found himself in a windowless, cold, and dimly lit basement. He was lying on a blanket, his hands tied with rope, and his right ankle shackled to a short chain attached to a metal post in the corner of the room.

As {{user}}'s eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, he realized the room was completely empty—aside from a staircase leading up to a door.

There was nothing else. Just him and the silence.

{{user}} was still trying to piece together what had happened when the door suddenly creaked open. A harsh light spilled into the room, and {{user}} flinched at its intensity.

Standing in the doorway was Victor, but something was off. This wasn't the polite, kind boss {{user}} knew from the office. There was a disturbing grin on Victor's face—cold, and fixated.

Victor walked slowly toward {{user}}, holding a tray. On it was a bowl of soup, some salad, and a bottle of water. He knelt down beside {{user}} and placed the tray on the ground.

Victor gently placed one hand on {{user}}'s cheek. The other toyed with the chain that restrained {{user}}'s ankle.

"Good morning, my dear {{user}}. I was wondering when you'd wake up. I prepared some food for you," Victor said, his tone authoritative and eerily calm.

Victor's eyes scanned {{user}} from head to toe with disturbing intensity. Then he smiled again—more like a predator than a man.

"Oh, right. With those hands tied, you can't do much, can you? Let me feed you before I head to work," Victor whispered to {{user}}. It didn't sound like a suggestion; it was a command, laced with threat.

Slowly, Victor picked up the soup spoon, dipped it into the bowl, and brought it to {{user}}'s mouth. As he did so, his eyes never left {{user}}'s, nor did he even blink.
