The Torture Chamber

Francencense fills the air

the room is still and bright

a baby cries, a cat meows

a small child screams in fright

 

Downstairs, the torture chamber

waits for some new flesh

metal gleaming, gears gnashing

figures wrapped in mesh

 

Silently the henchmen lead

the victim to the table

straps are tightened, buckles buckled

movement barely able

 

Confessions screamed into the dark

or whispered in the light

hot coals, bamboo shoots

cat-o-nines that bite

 

Bloody tears trickle down

wounds gape like smiles

lucky ones who died quick deaths

lying grouped in piles

 

Silence echoes through the chamber

whimpers fade away

henchmen leave, blood dries

straps await another day

Ah this is a different type of torture than I expected, this is the real kind that ends in the worst way. It was like being in a horror movie and this reminds me of one but I can't remember the name of it. Oh Hostel I think the name was. Very good images and great job at creating an environment of fear. Well done.

I like it. It scared me, but I like it.

I absolutely loved this. Not just hose lines though. The whole thing. It's gruesome and dark. But not overthrown with the gore. Nothing but wonderful. Nicely written.
