A Golden Piece of Bread

Just as I was about to leave I heard someone crying. It sounded like someone was screaming in pain. This unknown voice sounded oddly familiar. Instead of leaving immediately, I decided to follow the voice. I felt like I had heard this voice before. I slowly went toward the voice. I turned a few corners. "This whole place was both disgusting and rusty," I thought after mistakenly stepping on melted human flesh. After a little walk I located a cell where the voice was coming from. I slowly approached the cell.

When I looked inside the cell I saw someone familiar. This person behind the cell was a kid. He is someone I have seen very recently. When I saw him I creeped out. Not because of who the boy was but because of what condition he was in.

My mind flashed back to when I first arrived in the city. I remember seeing a kid buying something from a shop with his parents. Back then the boy looked like he was full of dignity. The boy who was living a life opposite to me. Yes, this boy right front of me was none other than Ricky. But the sheer sight of his body could make anyone vomit. his face was unrecognizable. His one arm was cut off. He had bandages and stiches all over his body. When I got a clear view of him I saw him munching down a dirty bread and crying his eyes out. His arms were covered up in bruises.

Then suddenly Ricky noticed me. "Help! PLEASE!! help! get me out of here" he said desperately as he rushed toward me and hit his head on the iron bars. He instantly got up and grabbed the iron bars with both hands, clinched his teeth's in desperation . I stood there in silence. His expression looked like he had seen Death himself.

"I am begging you! Please…. SAVE MEEE!!" He was crying his eyes out. The desperation in his voice left shivers down my spine. but I couldn't move my body. Suddenly my vision got blurry, my breathing got heavier, my heartbeat fastened as if I was about to die. "I….C-can't" I said my voice cracked from fear. I was about to have a panic attack

"I….I..am-sorry….Aaaaaa" I panicked and I ran towards the exit as fast as I could. I couldn't even look around. I just ran. In that moment I thought *What is this place. What's wrong with this city*

My mind flashed back to my sister and I thought "I need to take her and get out of this place". As I was thinking that I tripped and fell. I could still faintly hear the screams of Ricky. His death cries made me even more scared
