about

"Oh I can hear your heart beat!" I start by singing them few words loudly to an improvised tune, changes a bit every day, I'm no Cole Porter, I confess. I stand just to the side of the open grid on the cellar door. I don't want him to see me, but I want him to know I'm there. Briefly, I switch on the drill. It's okay, it's fully charged, it can spare a few seconds to let him dwell on what's coming. I laugh a lot. I like to laugh, I'm a happy kind of guy, what can I say? He doesn't sound so happy in there. Groan, groan, groan, shuffling in his chair. Well, as much as the restraints allow. He'd probably have something to say, but duct tape is kind of good at its job. I suppose it's perspective, yes, perspective, let's call it that. From where he's sitting in there, life probably doesn't look like fairies, unicorns and rainbows. But this side of the cellar door, oh my, the sun is shining brightly in Candyland. Hey, watch this, you'll love this, I do it every day. Watching? First, I thrust my head right up against the open grid, then I shout; "HERE'S JOHNNY!" Oh fuck, he near shits himself every time. I saw it in a movie, some motherfucker goes crazy in a motel, I love that shit. Then I put the key in the door, turn it real slow, push that big heavy fucker open, inch by inch. I'll tease him some about what a bad boy he's been, how he shouldn't have fucked his mother country, how you don't suck on her tit and spit the milk back in her face. Then I give him a reassuring smile, tell him it can all soon be over, all he has to do is give me a few names. Would you believe he called me an evil twisted cunt once? No, not me, I tell him, I'm just doing my job, sir, my country needs people like me while there’s bad guys like you. Work's a bit rich for some folk, I know. But me? I find it cathartic.
