“Yvette Scott!” The man beneath me roared in anger, and then I was tossed onto the ground.

After throwing up, I sobered up a little. I looked up at the man standing before me, who was now covered in filth. If the law allowed cannibalism, he would have eaten me by now. I was a bit stunned. and decided to act docile. “Don’t glare at me like that. I’m scared.”

I felt numb all over, but my head did indeed clear a bit due to the cold. I squatted down and hugged myself, feeling frustrated while muttering, “Idris, you didn’t just bring me here to stand in the wind, did you?” He did not have that much free time, and I was not that stupid.
