Chapter 21 by Rasun Rasun

What's next?

Return to the House of Torment

Setting:

The imposing gates of the Smith estate, standing tall and foreboding against the backdrop of the sprawling grounds. The sky is overcast, casting a pall over the scene as Jamal is led through the gates by Nathan and James. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, a silent harbinger of the torment that awaits Jamal within the walls of the estate.

Characters:

Jamal Smith: The 18-year-old black boy, returning to the house of torment after the end of his rental period at the farm.

Nathan: The sadistic overseer, responsible for inflicting untold suffering upon Jamal.

James: Nathan's accomplice, eager to continue their reign of cruelty.

Michael Smith: The patriarch of the Smith family, a shadowy figure lurking in the background.

Emily Smith: The matriarch of the Smith family, a distant and indifferent presence.

Scene:

The camera opens to the imposing gates of the Smith estate, which swing open with a creak as Nathan and James lead Jamal through. The familiar sight of the mansion looms ahead, casting a shadow over Jamal's already heavy heart.

Jamal: (to himself) Back to the house of torment... How much more can I endure?

As they approach the front door, Jamal's stomach churns with dread. He knows that the horrors he endured during his time at the farm will pale in comparison to what awaits him within these walls.

Nathan: (smirking) Welcome home, Jamal. Did you miss us?

Jamal's only response is a silent glare, his eyes burning with defiance despite the odds stacked against him.

James: (chuckling) Oh, he's got spirit, I'll give him that. Too bad it won't last long.

The door swings open, revealing the dimly lit foyer of the mansion. Nathan and James shove Jamal inside, their laughter echoing in the empty halls.

Nathan: (taunting) Enjoy your stay, Jamal. I have a feeling it's going to be a long one.
