Chains of the past

Just a reenactment of an original television series so those who have seen it please do not report this. Thank you!

Creak... Clink...Creak...Clink...

Chains shift subtly.

[Organ music starts playing]

[Screaming]

"How long are you still going to resist Simon? My hypnosis is still going to take effect in the end."

[Organ music stops]

Simon lifts his head up weakly, and with a defying yet burning look, quickly spits on the man.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain as his spittle of belittlement failed to reach its destination.

"You dare try spit on me!?"

A slap reared like a thunderclap, and echoed across the dim gloomy room.

Simon slumps his head yet again, body already riddled with punches and strips of lashes.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Powerless to do anything still aren't we Simon?"

The man slowly turned around and let the door close with a final desolate click.

" What's with these ENDLESS games?!! FUCKKK! FUCKKK!" Simon could only scream to himself, as he was left alone to his never ending cycle of mental torture.

{5 years later..}

Hey princess, welcome back!

Jenny had just touched down back in China, and was greeted warmly by her friend, Jason and sister, Sarah, after many years of not returning to the mainland due to her university studies.

"Looks like your manners have improved a lot once you became a policeman."

Jason grinned and cheekily replied: " All for the well being of the people!"

"Oh wait why are we standing in the middle of the path? Lets continue talking after we get into the car."

They entered a white cream coloured Audi sedan, with Jenny sitting at the front.

" Hey Jason. Don't fetch us home yet. I have another place in mind."

"Alright." They laughed and caught up with their missed years of interactions during that car ride.

As they drove along a steep mountainous path, Jason began to doubt if that was the correct address.

" Why are we going so far away? I have to get back to the police team in 40 minutes."

" I have an interview for a part time job there. I wanted to take a look at the environment before I go for that interview."

" Didn't you already find a job? Sarah asked with suspicion.

" It's just a short translation project, don't worry. The time and place should be good. Also, the most important part is the pay, why wouldn't I take it?"

"Up front." Jenny guided Jason.

Jenny scrolled down the window as their car pulled into the beaten dirt track.

They got out of the car and surveyed their surroundings.

Only an old vine covered villa greeted their sight. The house was actually magnificent, if it were seen in the older days.

The house was surrounded with much vegetation, as if the owner had not bothered to take care of it for years, giving the area a fairy taled aura.

"Are you sure it's here?" Jason asked.

" I looked it up on the GPS, so there shouldn't be any mistake."

"Are you sure anyone even lives in this place? It's broad daylight and the curtains are closed. It doesn't look like anyone is here. If you were to work here at night, it would surely scare anyone.

Jenny walked directly next to the house and tried to peep into the window, but failed to see anything due to the thickness of the curtains.

"Sis, sis!" Sarah called her back from the window.

She pointed at the attic window on the roof of the house.

"Look over there! I have goosebumps, Sis!"

Jason called out, " I have something that came up last minute at the station. We should come back another day."

They turned back to the car, totally unaware of the ominous figure standing at that exact window.....
