The Basement

I'm in my basement. It looks different. There are objects I don't remember owning.

It's almost pitch black, except for a lightbulb hanging in the middle of the room.

There is a young man sitting in a chair, directly under the lightbulb.

He's been tied to the chair, and duct tape put over his mouth.

I panic, trying to release the boy from his hold. It was as if I didn't exist. I couldn't grasp things, I couldn't be heard.

Suddenly the basement door opens, shedding a tiny bit of light in the basement for a split second.

Footsteps are heard walking down the stairs. Down walks Luke.

Luke walks over to the young man sitting in the chair.

"Well, hello. Sorry to be rude, my name's Luke" Luke says with an evil grin

He rips the tape from the boys mouth, harshly.

The boy lick his lips before speaking.

"Please let me go, man! I haven't done anything to you!" he screams

"You're absolutely right. You haven't done anything to me. However, you may remember doing something to a girl named Lilly." Luke sneers

"I-I don't know w-what you're talking about, dude" the young man says, stumbling over his words

"I use to spend many days at the library, Justin. I would constantly see Lilly there. One day she happens to get into your car, when she leaves the library. Usually she walks. So, I decided to make sure she was okay. I followed you that night, Justin." Luke says in a menacing tone

They boy, who's name I now know as 'Justin' visibly gulps.

"You raped her you bastard!" Luke screams

"She was only seven years old, you sick fuck!" Luke yells before punching Justin in the face

I cringe at the noise of Luke's fist colliding with Justin's face.

I see Luke pull out a fork from his back pocket.

What an odd thing to carry around, I think to myself.

He then pulls out a lighter.

Luke runs the lighter over the medal spoon for several seconds, getting the spoon extremely hot.

He then pushes the fork to Justin's skin, creating a sizzling sound.

I watch as Justin cries out in agony as he's burned multiple times, all over his body.

Luke runs the lighter over the fork one last time. He then plunges the fork into Justin's open eye.

I cover my eyes, almost being sick at the scene in front of me.

Justin's screams echo through the basement.

"Scream for help, just like Lilly did" Luke says before slitting his throat

Justin's limp body lay still, covered in burns and blood.

I wake up, but not with a jolt. I sit up and all I can do is simply stare at my ceiling.

I understand the man did something horrendous, but the scene in front of me was disturbing.

Luke was sitting at the end of my bed, before lying down next to me.

We both continue to stare at the ceiling.

"How?" I say, breaking the silence

"What do yo-"

"How can you live with yourself?" I ask, cutting him off

"He was an awful person. He deserved everything he got." Luke says calmly

"He may have deserved it, but you don't have the right to take a life." I whisper before getting out of bed and walking out onto my balcony.
