Unraveling Him
Bruised, scarred, and just a bloody broken mess over the ground.
I lifted my hand up and wiped at my cheeks, removing any trace of tears that was left. As I watched them flog him, I just felt the tears roll down my cheeks, uncontrollably. The sound of the cane as it hit his back, his agonized screams, the sight of skin opening up and bleeding...it was just too much. For god's sake, even in a movie, when such a scene comes, I immediately close my eyes, wincing as I look away but today, I was offered the first seat to witness it live.
