Ugh. My head hurts. Why am I sleeping on the floor? I take a minute to gather my surroundings. The room was well lit, and there was a door on each wall. I looked up to see an unhinged trapdoor, barely hanging off. As soon as I realized what had happened, I ran into the next room.

You see, I used to have a normal life. Me and my Mother lived in a small house on a hill. I would play with my toys, and she would watch Christian Broadcasts on the TV. My life was simple.

However, one day, Mom started muttering about the voice of God. She then took all my toys, all my stuff, even my diaper. Man, wasn't THAT embarrassing.

It doesn't end there, though. Later, she grounded me to my room for no apparent reason-I believe it had something to do with the voice.

Then, earlier, I looked through a crack in my door to see her receiving her final, most horrifying message.

"Yes, my lord, it will be done." She had said, in a now raspy voice.

When I saw her grab that knife, I knew what was going to happen. I knew she was going to sacrifice me to her sick version of God. So, with that, I found the trapdoor under my rug, and jumped into the basement, hoping to escape her wrath.
