Three hundred thousand ninety six... three hundred thousand ninety seven... Ugh, I can't take it anymore !

Since I've woken up here, to kill time passing by, I didn't stop counting.
It's been almost two days !
How do I know that ? Simple : my phone. I found a way to hide it, so they won't find it.

I did activate its localization feature hoping for... somebody to find me but apparently, it doesn't get any signal here. So I deactivated everything so the battery would last the maximum possible, and since then I'm either sleeping, or counting.

Fortunately, I found some chocolate bars and a bottle of water in my backpack they had the courtesy to not take away.
I decided to leave it for the emergencies.
Until now, I only took half a bite of chocolate and one sip of water. I'm so hungry ! I miss food and I'm suffering from our forced separation but I've gotta be strong since I don't know how much I'm gonna stay in this shithole.

I'm so glad I have my phone here, knowing that we're Friday, April the 15th and it's 4:57 pm helps me to not go completely nuts.

I have to leave this place, and rapidly !

Suddenly, a noise hit my ears. It seems like it comes from the door. I took a defensive stance. Even though I never actually practiced any fighting sport, it might come in handy.

— You must be hungry ! I heard. Excuse my rudeness, I'm Augustus, my duty is to bring you food. 

— It's been days I'm starving. I said, suspicious. He doesn't need to know more.

— About that, I'm sorry. I forgot.  He simply said.

— Won't you just tell me what I'm doing here ?

I admit, I'm not really the patient kind.

—  To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I'm only following the orders.

— A minion ain't gonna do much anyway... I whispered, but he heard me.

— Listen here you little shit, he said while grabbing me by my neck, you being a kid won't make me treat you more gently, so watch your words !

— Why ? Just why are you keeping  me here ? I yelled as loud as I could, hoping for the anger to cover the fear.

— Do I look like I know ? Now, quit your bullshit and eat. He said calmly, as if he weren't being yelled at just a few seconds ago. 

— Talking about that... he didn't need to finish his sentence for my face to turn red as I instantly understood what he was talking about.

— I... I didn't have much of a choice !

He smiled. That motherfucker is enjoying the situation !

I was about to ask him for more details, but he disappeared, leaving me alone, again. Not that I appreciated his presence but... I don't know.

Let's see what he brought me...

Doesn't seem very yummy but at least it's food. Right ?

I wished myself a good appetite and literally swallowed the meager meal (if we can call that a meal...).
After that I laid back down on that old mattress I didn't leave since my arrival here, had a quick look on the time on my phone and went back counting where I stopped earlier, until finally, sleep got me.
