Misadventures

Torment

*Video has no correlation with chapter*

"Tommy! Nooo!" I could barely hear my family's cries over the whirring of the machine. We were only ten years old, never taken out of confinement by this... Thing's older brother. My feet went in first, the machine whirring as my feet were cut and chopped until they fell off into the container under the machine. I was pulled back out, some skin flopping around because of the unfinished job. "God, they're all so faulty! Where is one that isn't?" The monster screeched. I look to the side and see other brethren, each chopped to different amounts. One to the head, a couple to their chests, a few to their waist, and around a dozen to their knees, like me. "I'll just grab another one to see if that one is faulty." It said, throwing me into a discard pile. A few of my brethren broke my fall, so I wasn't injured, other than the obvious. I can't let them get to my family, I thought. I started crawling towards the edge, and dropped a few feet, before landing on my side, and rolling. It grabbed me and said, "Maybe I should try one more time." I was carried to the machine and I was stuck inside the tube. The whirring came back and it started to cut and tear at my flesh, quickly tearing up my muscles. I screamed in agony, crying for the monster to stop, pleading it to leave me and my family alone. I felt the blades gnash at my bones, Tearing and chewing it until it gets to inner levels. By now, it was up to my thigh, a little above my knee. The monster pulled me out of the torture device. I sighed with relief but knew this most likely isn't over, looking at my other brethren. "Finally! That took forever!" The monster growled. Another, older, monster leaned over the younger one's shoulder. "That really did take forever. I'm telling you, Ticonderoga is going down in quality. See? this is why you should've bought mechanical pencils." The older one said. "I know, I know." The younger one sighed, starting to write with my blood and bone fragments.

The full story is 362 words. I am now realizing how the stories I write and show off tend to be dark. Idk where the rainbows and unicorns side goes when writing stories, but the dark side comes in "Yo, missed me? Of course you didn't. Haha, f you too."
