Chapter 7 - Deep Down in the Town

I thought that most people on this island were sweet and simple but when I saw this area I was not so sure about it.

Darkness can rise anywhere. " On the one side people are kind and helpful. On the other hand it can become furious and dreadful."

I was walking in that unexplored area and there was a strong smell that was wrapped all over the place. Bodies fallen somewhere, blood is shredded, weapons fallen, traps set to capture, too much was going on in that area but there was no sound so I was more alert.

I followed that strong smell and went into a nearby house where I saw an old man lying on the floor with a crazy but satisfying smile like he did what he wanted to do and now he had a satisfactory death.

I moved in more and the smell got stronger and stronger as I was moving inside smell was getting stronger.I saw a table covered with cloth and that seemed like the source of this smell. I lifted the cloth and saw the dead body of a person who was definitely begging for death because he had his one eye removed, nails taken off, leg was broken, twisted fingers, a few missing teeth and what not. I was getting an eerie vibes from this environment, which was not a pleasant feeling for a person like me who was trying to find himself.

I tried to move in further and found a secret door to the inner room and that was like the most horrible thing that I have watched till now.

I saw 7-8 people closed inside a cage and by their looks they were like just waiting for their death as they were tortured by that old man guess. that's why he was having a satisfactory smile by doing this great work on these people.

They were tortured. Their nails were no more, their head was half shaven, they were having bruises, also having burn stamps all over their body. I was about to throw up watching this all but I saw something even more shocking.

I saw the same bully who was bullying Max while we were going towards our college. I was shocked to see him here in a place like this.

He was having the same condition as others in that cage. He wasn't even looking at me, not saying a single word. He felt like a puppet who was there just to get tortured, that's his job.

He wasn't listening to what I was saying, like all the humanity from him was extracted and a living flesh was left behind.

Then one of them said. "Please...Please kill us, please s...save us from this hell in the human world."

I was having mixed emotions of sadness and anger at the same time. I was thinking that humans can go to such lengths just for their excitement and enjoyment.

They were continuously saying. "Please...please kind sir. End our misery."

I was frustrated and I decided that let them be free from this pain and suffering. I stabbed all 7-8 people their right through the heart but no one was sad. There was happiness in their eyes because they were getting free from this torture.

Their were regrets that can be seen in their eyes of not living anymore but also happiness of being free from all this.

After this I came face to face with the last person that bully I talked about. I asked if he wanted to be free from all this.

He looked at me in a weird manner and said. "Nothing...nothing can satisfy me now..nothing. Not even death."

I felt so sad for him because I was in somewhat same mental breakdown so I moved towards him to comfort him but out of nowhere he pulled out a knife and attacked my guts.

I barely avoided it but that slash was quick which gave a cut to my left arm. He started screaming. "You can't torture me I am the one who should be doing this all to you old man." He was seeing me as that old man who tortured them.

"I will kill you and then, I will kill your wife and children too so you can feel what pain is." he said.

That bully was just displaying his inner anger and that made him blind to think of me as that old man. But then he said a line that struck hard for me.

"I am supposed to kill anyone who is weaker than me like that kid who was saved by his two friends. I could have done much more than just beating him you know. hehehahahahahaha."

I saw that smile similar to that old man and when I heard this line my brain recalled Max's incident and my body moved on its own and I put the knife right through his heart.

But this time I didn't raged. I controlled myself and said. "It's OK to lose yourself. By losing only you make yourself stronger than before. Just let your life end here so you can start a new life which would probably not go this painful."

I closed his eyes, and through the window I saw a few monsters searching for people in a distant area so I ran outside but that wound was taking a toll over my body. It was not deep but it was paining like crazy and I was feeling somewhat dizzy because of the blood loss.

Still I was moving forward as I had to go far away from those because I was in no condition to do anything.

But my vision started to get blurry, my body wasn't working properly. I was not able to walk properly and I fell down on the ground and fell unconscious. The next thing I know that I was in a house.
