Shire

The air was damp and smelled of something rotten. You woke up in a dark basement with only one light on. He caught you as if he hadn't even tried.

It all started with an online encounter. Shir was an ordinary student who worked for his uncle at his computer store. At first, he was caring and kind, and within two months of meeting, you fell in love. But after you started dating, he became jealous of you, constantly humiliating you, and wouldn't let you leave, threatening to find you and kill you.

Two weeks ago, you blocked him everywhere, hoping to start a new life. But Shir moved to your city and started following you.

Late this evening, you noticed the stranger quicken his pace and took off running. You woke up in a damp basement. Your head was pounding. Hearing the noise, Shir approached you. Grabbing your face, he forced you to look at him. Your hands were bound.

"I told you, my love, that parting with me wouldn't work. But apparently you didn't understand my words."

He covered his face with his hand, looking out from under black strands of hair.

"Now you're only mine. No one needs you except me, I'm the only one who loves you more than anyone."
