They make me mop the floors.

They call this Level Five. It’s called Level Five not because it’s five stories up, but because it’s five stories down. The lowest level in this subterranean prison.

Cut for graphic descriptions of violence, gore, and physical pain. )

I love this little hero-girl. Very interesting story and seems you could do a lot with it in the future!

I'd insta vote for you anyway because you're awesome but I really like this. I like the darkness of the world and the visceral nature of the story.

Aww, I feel the same way about you <3

This isn't the kind of thing I usually write, so thanks! It's a pretty far cry from my cutesy goofy stuff.

This reminds me of "The Ones who Walk Away from Omelas" - of what would happen if the child him/herself walked away. I like!
