Insane (1)

Ken woke up abruptly, his eyes snapping open as if he'd just had a bad dream. For a fraction of a second his mind thought that everything had been an illusion, yet the dark warehouse and the clinking of his chains brought him back to reality.

His heart sank as he realized that it wasn't all a dream.

"Ugh."

Ken groaned, the pain from his beatings beginning to take its toll. His lips were dried and bloody, a sign that he'd not had a drink for a long time.

He looked to his left, seeing Katsuya with his head lowered. Just from a glance he could tell that the guy was not doing well.

"Hey… Are you okay?" He asked, not even recognizing his own voice.

It hurt to speak, likely from the screaming making it hoarse.

Katsuya didn't respond right away, but his body twitched. He raised his head, the once pretty face looking like it had been tossed into a blender.

"What do you think?" Katsuya replied sarcastically.
