It wasn’t hell. Hell suggests purpose. A creator. This place was more like a sinkhole under a house, carved out by a steady drip-drip-drip of ordinary, pointless cruelties.

the legend goes a young woman crawled inside one day and shut the door behind her. or perhaps her classmates pushed her in when the metal grew red-hot. or perhaps she awoke from a deep sleep in her own bed to find herself within the belly of the furnace, and there never was a door.

...there is the fear, of the person not acting themselves. And then there is the dread, mounting, once you realise that they will never act themselves again. That you will need to live with, or perhaps it is more accurate to say live through, whatever happens next.

Dogs that sound like dead leaves scraping on concrete when they bark. Dogs with withered legs that taper into points. Dogs sitting in a circle around a severed hand. Dogs with mouths like pitcher plants.

A yellow card slipped out from the leaves of the pamphlet:

WOUND ACCUMULATOR

Below these words sat a phone number and a tiny logo, something that looked a little like a pufferfish or a pincushion, although it was unclear if the spikes were facing into or out of the bolus.
