D4 Hanged Man's Hall Novels & Stories

There are no decorations, no punched-tin or dyed hangings like you’d find in a Ditch home, but the halls are wider, the ceilings are higher, and from the quiet, it’s clear the walls are made of something thicker than particleboard. We climb yet another stair, walk to the end of another hall, and Clay kicks a door open with his foot. It’s an attic dormitory, four bunks on either side, each with a metal footlocker at the end. It stinks. Three males startle and stand. Two were playing cards on a thin mattress. One had been lying down. A fourth male, the one named Amir, drops from where he was lifting himself on a bar hung across a closet door. All the males except Amir duck their heads and aver

As she walked in, she could see blood splattered everywhere. In the middle of the room, a man was hung by two chains holding his hands apart. His legs were also chained to the ground, positioning him in a crucifix fashion. His head hung low as though he had expired but his chest said otherwise. He still heaved, an evidence that he was still alive and breathing. Only that his breathing was laborious and rather slow.

"It's a bit abrupt." Samuel shook his head and then pointed to a piece of suspended wood in the center of the mourning hall. It was intentionally hung in the hall, surrounded by all types of white flowers. From the distance, it looked like a hanging ceiling. "Abrupt? Samuel, what have you discovered?" Pei Gu hurriedly asked the moment Samuel spoke. "What's that for?" Samuel pointed at the suspended wood and asked. At this time, someone hurriedly stood up and said, "This is the funeral hall. The suspended wood is mainly used for decoration and hanging some ornaments for the funeral. Do you have any objections?"

The dungeon. The air inside the dungeon was cold, damp, and thick with the metallic stench of iron and fear. In the center of the concrete room, a man was hung from heavy steel chains bolted to the ceiling. His clothes were torn to shreds, his body heavily bloodied and battered from an earlier, brutal interrogation. His head hung low, his breathing shallow and ragged, life was rapidly leaving his frail body. Stefan stepped close to him, stopping just inches away from the suspended captive. The heavy thump of Stefan’s boots sounded like the ticking of a death clock.

A man's cry, raw and animal, stripped of any performance. Pure pain. “The show is on.” Roman chuckled. My steps slowed. Roman didn't stop, so I followed, because stopping alone in this hallway felt worse than continuing. The door was open. Roman walked in. I stopped at the threshold. The room was almost entirely dark except for a single bulb hanging at the center and a strip of pale light from a ventilation grate near the ceiling — enough to tell whether it's night or day. And enough to feel anything but dread. A man hung suspended in the middle of the room, ankles bound, body upside down, hands tied behind his back. He was covered in wounds — some fresh and bleeding freely, some older and

The dungeon was cold, dark, and smelled of blood. Water dripped from the ceiling, making a soft, hollow sound. The walls were thick stone, and the only light came from a single bulb hanging from the ceiling, swinging slightly. In the center of the room, tied to a metal chair, was the man who had stolen from Dante’s vault. His face was bruised, dried blood crusting on his lips. His hands were tied behind his back, and his ankles were strapped to the chair legs. He had been here for hours, waiting for his fate.

They opened the door and took out the man again. There was a clock tower nearby. The crowd carried him to the first floor of the clock tower, tied him with a rope and hung him upside down from the railing of the clock tower. He was left hanging in this condition as a display for the public. A crowd once again gathered below the clock tower and began pelting stones at him from below. It went on for some time. Finally, a platoon of army personnel arrived and took him down from the clock tower and took him away.

Dean took my hand in his, and I sighed wistfully, thinking about our short engagement days when I thought he was a good man. “Ready?” He turned to me now, and I nodded quietly as we walked into an underground room. At the entrance, I froze. A bloodied mass was hanging from the roof. I turned to Dean, and he gestured me forward. My legs moved on their own, pulling me closer despite my growing terror. I stopped suddenly. It was a man hanging upside down, and I recognized his floral suit from that morning.

Let's dance together. Without wasting time, Wendy agreed and they went to the dance floor. “I must confess, you are beautiful. Just the way I want my woman. What's your name?” The strange man said as he danced with her. “Thanks for the sweet words. However, you don't have to know my name. Let's just dance!” Wendy replied softly. Meanwhile, Hilton stood at the front of the house, pacing restlessly. Then he placed a call. “Haven't you found her destination?” Hilton said deeply as the person on the other end picked.

His cryptic words lingered in my mind as I sat there, waiting for his surprise. Then, as if on cue, the door to the hall swung open with a loud creak. Every head turned toward the entrance, and the whispers died instantly. I gasped softly as I saw Denderick standing in the doorway. But it wasn't just him. Behind him, he dragged a crumpled form using a rope tied around its neck. The form barely resembled a man. My stomach twisted, though I already knew who it was. Denderick walked forward, his footsteps echoing in the silent hall. He hauled the battered body with little effort, and as he reached the center of the room, he threw the form onto the floor with a heavy thud. The sound echoed throu
