"Aughhh..." An agonized groan clawed its way out his throat. The man curls in the dark damp corner. like a child haunted by nightmares, longing for relief. His skin felt scalded. His blood boiled underneath his skin. It was excruciating. However, like any other day, he must endure. Tucking his neck into his shoulders, he pinched the solid thing embedded on his leg, catching it with the tip of his filthy fingernails. Blood streamed at the edges of the wound as the object was touched.
Sweat drenched his tightened face as he breathe rapidly. It will be finished in an instant. The pain will disappear once its done, he convinced himself. Gritting his teeth, he mentally counted to three and forcibly yanked the scale out of his skin. His body jerked from the shock of pain. Teeth biting on lips to stifle a shout.
