The American And The Russian (Benny Watts) [The Queens Gambit]

Part 31 Favourite Toy

I tossed and turned trying to stay asleep but sleeping only left me to the mercy of my nightmares.

Sitting in my chair with the chess board in front of me the room empty but me and casak the room dark but the one light above me, I went to move a piece but he second my finger tip touched the wood of my pawn I saw him smirk and I felt the harsh horrific pain erupt though me like being stuck by lightning making me drop my pawn and scream

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed trying to kick my feet but my ankled where buckled to the chair legs, my other hand buckled tight to the arm rest leaving only my right hand to move trying to get this pain away from me "Dovol'no!" I screamed and the pain stopped He did his move so I did my own, playing for a couple of moves but I tried to make another and he pressed the button making the pain rush though me again "AAAAHHHHHHHHH!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs feeling the pain in my finger tips and my toes even now but the memory of Casak across from me began to fade away leaving me in darkness this pain still tingling in every inch of me But my screams continued the years and years of the screaming being all I could do. It began to moph to change my screams changing to... The sound of Benny's screams and cries. That sound echoing in my heard worse then any of my own memories no matter how hard I tried I couldn't escape this pictures in my head of Benny going though the things I did when I was young

"No... No Please, AAAAHHHHHHHh!"

"BENNY!" I screamed sitting up in my room holding my pillow still, I had no idea the time but I climbed out of bed getting dressed and sitting at the table taking my pill bottle in my hand setting out the rainbow of pills and swallowing each and every one of them.
