Young and asleep, oblivious to the frustrations yet to come their way. I noticed then119Please respect copyright.PENANAe8ecc2HVlG
that some of them had tubes going into their bodies through all sorts of possible ways.119Please respect copyright.PENANAXlRQ7KBPLU
My scared mouth could not help itself this time, and so a loud gasp inevitably made119Please respect copyright.PENANAAsap2ehSQV
itself heard -my voice sounded nothing like the thoughts in my head- and then I heard119Please respect copyright.PENANAcnMAVdNPA1
someone coming.119Please respect copyright.PENANAMDgDiUSGnO
I was scared. Fear is, after all, the first emotion taught to any living thing.119Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZ5Iej3Uo
I did not have to keep on guessing for long, however, as through the corner of my119Please respect copyright.PENANADi79IlaCDu
struggling eye, I was able to appreciate him somewhat. I uttered something in response119Please respect copyright.PENANAtBtB0QUhE1
to being so scared, though I was unable to understand it myself at the time. Then I felt119Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUjWr86rn
a pair of trembling fingers gently caressing my face and my eyelids. Those wrinkled119Please respect copyright.PENANA3BWhoBy3Ku
hands then proceeded to go all over my naked body: checking, poking, searching.119Please respect copyright.PENANA6ObPFfuIRK
Examining.119Please respect copyright.PENANAkp18ei0SAk
My eyes could not do much else but wander aimlessly while that was all taking119Please respect copyright.PENANAgNWpczBvJ6
place; trying to divert my attention of what could be going on. I then noticed some119Please respect copyright.PENANAGCeXnGHPUd
luteous markings on some of those darkened walls - although I was unable to read119Please respect copyright.PENANAviJuELifKq
them, they still held some interest over me, if only momentarily. My eyes decided119Please respect copyright.PENANANlsgsJhggv
then to continue their penurious tour only to be halted again by one of those beds.119Please respect copyright.PENANAQAGeYR71WE
Someone was twitching under a few heavy white blankets, someone even smaller than119Please respect copyright.PENANALVqbxJdCMZ
me I would say, twitching and complaining; and right before my mouth could exclaim119Please respect copyright.PENANA1rQyVmdcEX
a word, my face was turned away from it.119Please respect copyright.PENANAK16ADXlyii
A warm and trembling hand was now making me stare at an even older face: one119Please respect copyright.PENANAe47f5bDPFn
whose wrinkles easily drew an expression of worry. I started to hear his voice, hoarse,119Please respect copyright.PENANAMPal7DFKtm
masculine, and old; completely the opposite of what mine had previously sounded like.119Please respect copyright.PENANAvuTrmtNkcC
I could tell he was urgently trying to tell me something but his words, just like my very119Please respect copyright.PENANAct2M7H3L0D
own, were no more than indistinguishable sounds to me. Gently his trembling fingers119Please respect copyright.PENANAo90IZ1jtaN
began rubbing around my eyes as if he knew they were hurting, and sure enough after119Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ug3lUd6nI
a while, any remaining blurriness still holding onto the corners of my sight was gone.119Please respect copyright.PENANA1as2yXYrSd
Immediately after, and as fast as he could, he began removing all the restraints tying119Please respect copyright.PENANAU7KcXXHUrw
me to that bed, and after that was done, he helped me to sit.119Please respect copyright.PENANA6yjp2DgKxJ
He had a big smile on his face as if he were so proud of me, and although I could not119Please respect copyright.PENANAWEFE129p5J
understand the sounds coming from between his lips, his eyes could easily tell me as119Please respect copyright.PENANAwEtFX976yb
much. More than once I signalled him that I could not understand him, but no matter119Please respect copyright.PENANAHk5Pyj8qit
how many times I would nod my head he still would not stop.119Please respect copyright.PENANAveapLHvPA6
His mouth kept moving as if my ears could make all sense out of them. He tried and119Please respect copyright.PENANAF7Q5hZ6sAh
tried and tried until he made me smile for the first time, shyly at first but eventually119Please respect copyright.PENANAbtVKhttNAC
he even managed to steal my first giggle. He smiled back. I will never forget my119Please respect copyright.PENANA7RphlEUzcu
first pleasant exchange with another, nor will I forget that loud sound that came to119Please respect copyright.PENANAxG2lCKwnYT
interrupt it.119Please respect copyright.PENANAwTzh7g0yB3
A big shriek, the sound of metal being dragged across more metal; it interrupted119Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNxbpc1KA
us and made him look away from me. That older face turned away from me so fast,119Please respect copyright.PENANAdnqPwIxLZN
towards that door opening, and the younger man that proceeded to walk through119Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwOpMBYQR
it. They began to hastily exchange sounds between them and the more they did,119Please respect copyright.PENANAnWlbcnKKGs
incredibly, the easier it became for me to understand what they were saying.119Please respect copyright.PENANAzCHrqzog2n
A few short words at first... “Sir... you... certain?” The new man asked.119Please respect copyright.PENANARyTzASQYR3
“It... the... way.” The older man replied, and it quickly became apparent he was in119Please respect copyright.PENANAiHGzVDcVyz
charge no matter how their words were being exchanged.119Please respect copyright.PENANAcp3lCtSmoO
“But... ...dangerous game... ...!” The young man said before storming off. The older119Please respect copyright.PENANAPw3XETNPxN
one tried to follow him, but he stopped at the door. He whispered something and even119Please respect copyright.PENANAmRC6BUVr49
though I could not understand it, I knew it to be sad.119Please respect copyright.PENANADJBbduokwX
“Did you ... any ... that?” He asked as he made his way towards me, “You did... you?”119Please respect copyright.PENANA1o3HGfU3XM
“Yes...”119Please respect copyright.PENANAispbrdPgJz
That reply impressed no one else more than it did me.119Please respect copyright.PENANAfZjiXrY6Gs
The way I bounced in surprise almost threw me out of that bed.119Please respect copyright.PENANAzTDIQV2krY
“Easy there.” He held me gently, “It will only get easier for you by the moment.”119Please respect copyright.PENANADns8kw5pwf
“Easier?” I had to inquire, “What?”119Please respect copyright.PENANAwbS6tl472V
“Everyt... will.” His eyes immediately adopted a more serious look, and the rest of119Please respect copyright.PENANAKuMH5S9FSL
his face followed, “But first... must... you... of here.”
