“You go too far Markus. I want this man alive. I need answers”
“As do I My Lord, as do I. Pain applied artfully never kills. He longs for the escape of death but I won’t allow it. I am making great progress My Lord. Can you not smell the fear? The cell reeks of it.”
“A flick of my hand sends him cowering. I can touch him lightly the way a friend might or I can cause unbearable pain. He never knows which to expect. Soon he shall be mine and we will know the truth.”

You have a great imagination, John! Your little snippet sets my mind spinning to fill in the larger story.
Thanks Steve.
Oh, how utterly delicious! Excellent emotion. I see you have Steve hooked!
Thanks Red. Does this mean I’m a hooker?
LMAOOO
Oh, by all means. Shall we go shoe shopping? *grins*
Put on your high heeled sneakers… I want a red pair. I’ll settle for a pair of red high top Chuck Taylor All Stars. That’s a mouthful.
Perfect, just perfect!
Thanks Val. Perfect? Maybe close? Hah
Oooh it is eerie and I want to learn more! Well done
Thanks Christy.
