Where am I? Was his first thought.
What is happening? Was his second.
The world was moving beneath him as he felt metal grind against metal. He heaved up mouthfuls of water, choking and spluttering as he did. Once he finished, he fell back against the cage floor, gasping for breath, sweat soaking his skin.
Was he in an elevator?
He couldn't remember; couldn't remember a thing. He didn't know how he knew what an elevator was, he just did...It was too confusing to think about.
Harsh sounds of pulleys and chains echoed throughout the box, the cage still going higher and higher. He was gonna crash!
The boy shielded his head, but just before the box rammed into the ceiling, it came to an abrupt holt, scattering him on to the floor.
The boy groaned as he rolled over, clutching his chest, no doubt from a bruised rib or something. He wanted to scream; wanted to cry; wanted to tear this whole damn place apart, but his fear confined him to the corner, where he curled up.
Waiting for his fate.
