Month of Ritual

In a tower, you see a man reprimand a figure further behind the window. The camera zooms in on them. You see a boy. A tawdry clothed boy. His one hand handcuffed, and tied to the doorknob. The man was a bit ... aloof. I said "reprimand" but he was calm doing so. And he now saunters (though in a high class manner) toward the snack table and lifts up his cup of tea.

The boy just needed an assist in a department. Well, the financial department. And now he was caught, he feels a hostile despair. He's done for. His life is to be ended. He would rather commit suicide than to die in the hands of the people of this land.

A rotten situation he now finds himself in.

Like her

And the boy, still struggling, was being observed -- silently -- by the man in the corner. The boy feels his gaze upon him, like a laser executing judgement. Imagining the terrible things that are to be done to him... The man gently sips on his cup. There is no intention revealed in his demeaner.

The boy turns his wrist to see his watch. The sun soon is setting. The night of the red moon is soon to come. The time of the demons is about to dawn upon them, as it did last year. And the people of this land would reveal their true faces.

The man before him finally gives off some emotion, and it is confusing. It is one of excitement. And a women enters through the door. What a moment to seduce. What a moment of uncertainty. The moon is nearly full, and the boy has nearly got the lock off, but is unsure of his fate... .

Not too easy. I got some story going on, and I fell flat once I think about trying to incorporate the word "seduce." I brought a woman in, but I felt uncomfortable about making the woman do much more with the boy around. A little uncomfortable man!!

Well, anyways. That's all from me for today! Next time, yo!
