11 The Unwanted Ability to See in the Dark (1/2)

He wanted to complain and yell but words wouldn't come out from his tightened throat. He despaired and couldn't reach the floor. He should be dead a few days ago.

His should've broke down from the pain he was experiencing but his consciousness was still clearer than the blue sky that day.

His clothes were almost teared up, blood soaked him from head to toe. Nerves were pulsating in pain all over his body but the rope doesn't become loose for that reasons.

He kicked and pulled himself up. His weak body couldn't even do a proper pull up but after a few days of struggle and restless pain, he used every muscle he had every second.

There are many things that is strange. Where do he get all the strength? He can't even breath nor sleep but he still isn't dead yet? No, the first and biggest question should be: Why can't I die?

Rin could no longer think about it or even count the days he was struggling: Passing out and waking up just to suffer again. It must've been at least a full week of him hanging.

After another few days, he can now do a pull up but he is always exhausted so that is not the best he could do and since he need one hand to loosen the rope. He need to pull up using only one arm which us on a different level than a pull up with both arms.

For time and time again, he would pull himself up to have a rest but his arms would get tired only after a few moments and he would fall again.

This pattern repeated for how many days. The pain would still et him to struggle and move his body more than an athlete would but this only caused the rope to tightened up more. It would only get a little bit loose when he pull himself up.

He no longer sweat, his body was long dried up but the blood kept gushing out like it was limitless, either from his mouth or any of the orifices on his face.

No help was arriving even after a week and a few days. His deceased mother was the only who he know that will enter this house. No other relatives or even acquitances showed up in front of their door.

However, in the last few days, there was someone ringing the doorbell of their house daily and their telephone had been ringing about twice a day. Rin wanted to scream and shout for help but he couldn't. That only added to his suffering.

The only noise he could create by using his own body. All the furniture near him had already been kicked or fell because of his past struggles. But if he release his grip from the rope then it will choke him. Therefore, there was nothing he could do but to listen to the ringing doorbell in agony.

Long time had already past, maybe longer than two weeks. He's long mentally exhausted from all the pain. He did not have a long breath for two weeks straight. His eyes are dead, his body was still swinging while his hands are always tightly gripped onto the rope.
