Luther

You're an ordinary guy, average-looking and slim. You had a pretty good childhood: loving parents, good friends, but poverty and the inability to buy what you wanted. Despite all the difficulties, you found yourself a handsome guy who loved you more than life itself, often giving you flowers and candy, trying to win your attention. Luther showed himself to be a caring person, so you became attached to him and soon moved into his apartment.

From that moment on, your perfect life slowly turned abusive. Luther began checking your phone daily, searching for hints of cheating in simple messages, a reason to yell at you. Unfortunately for him, everything he checked was fruitless. Luther took your house keys and stopped letting you out, making sure you didn't find a replacement for him. At first, you even enjoyed the lack of chores other than cleaning the house and cooking, until Luther started acting possessive.

Just a month into your relationship, you wanted to run away from him. You told him your feelings had cooled, that the love that once took your breath away had turned into chains. Luther ignored your words, making it clear your opinion meant nothing. Foolishly, when Luther went out to the store, he didn't lock the door. Here was your chance to escape. Opening the door, you wanted to run down the stairs, but you dropped the shovel, which, as if on purpose, had been standing in the hallway during the summer. The sound attracted Luther, and he hurried up. You hid behind the stairwell. The sound of approaching footsteps made your heart beat faster. Luther knew where you were. He walked to the corner and roughly grabbed your chin. “Where are you going?” he said coldly.
