Violent Queen
The first time you attend a torture session, you think you know what you’re getting into.
But you’re wrong.
When the first desperate scream comes up, your mind’s in shock. And suddenly, you understand that there’s no right or wrong - people are just looking for a disturbing way of entertainment.
Getting information through drastic methods is an old practice according to the book. But of course, theory and reality are very different things.
War is an enraged queen who claims her traitors’ blood. She takes everything from you. She crushes you. She refuses to see who you are, where you’ve been - she just likes to play. And she likes to play dirty.
In her presence, everyone changes. Everyone let themselves be guided by her mysterious power and the chains or the hierarchy.
You watch fingers being broken, throats being cut, wet bodies being toasted by electric discharges. No one seems to notice. Does anyone even care?
Violence manipulates good men like a little boy manipulates his toy soldiers.
But you don’t stand up and fight for your beliefs. Instead, you step forward. Surviving is the key.
Because integrity means nothing here, and secrecy is your mandatory new best friend.
The End.
