When I came to, there was a gray shadow looming over me. Except for his piercing red eyes and toothy grin, all I saw was a cloud of smoke vaguely resembling the figure of a man. 

We just stared at each other for what I felt was an eternity. The occasional nod and grin gave me hope that he won't kill me... at least not yet. Not that it matters. I know what I did and I'm fully prepared for the consequences.

I relaxed when he finally looked away, only to shudder when began to speak.

"If I ask you what the strongest human emotion is, what would you answer. Fear, desire, or something else entirely?"

"Why ask me this?"

"Don't play dumb. I'm sure you already know why."

I'm not playing, I am dumb.

"Only a guess. This is different from I imagine."

He shrugged and began to slowly walk towards a door I never noticed that was there.

"You're special. Come. Your "friends" are waiting. It's time to serve you your gifts."

"...and my punishments."
