"Hahaha... Can you believe it, boys? He's not even screaming! Not a single sound!" a bulky man exclaimed in disbelief, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and amusement as he cracked the whip again.
"YOU SICK MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Stop it!! He's just a child!!" I shouted, my voice trembling with anger. My rage was boiling over, yet my words fell on deaf ears.
None of the brutes heard me.... none of them cared!
"Your turn now!" the man said with a twisted grin, handing the whip to another sadist in the group.
"FUCK!!" I yelled again, my frustration consuming me as I turned to face Ether.
He was standing there, motionless, devoid of life.
His eyes... empty, as though they no longer saw the world around him.
My heart sank as I looked at the boy's body.
