He had decided to make a camp between 2 rocks that would disguise their makeshift home for the night. He relaxed for a while with his wife and son but they soon drifted into sleep. He took his usual role as watchman, but something was different about tonight, something so peaceful that eased his soul. He looked up to the stars and decided that he would close his eyes, but just for a minute.
...
He woke up to a woman screaming " BILLY HELP ME, HELP YOUR SON!! " he recognized the voice but couldn't open his eyes. He had felt as though he had taken to much Jet, he couldn't move his body at all. The woman screamed again, there were two shots and all went quiet
...
He woke up to two men that looked content, he saw them mouthing words and he could here them too but couldn't understand them. The drugs must still be in his system. A sharp pain was felt as his head rocked back violently, again those two men. They looked angry this time. " GET UP YOU DOG!!!! " they kicked Billy repeatedly in the stomach area, and he was fully awake now. He noticed that his wife was gone, and so was his son. He questioned the men on their wereabouts. They laughed and kicked him all the harder. " Oh those two? they are burning behind that rock!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA" Billy felt an anger that he had never felt before in his entire life. This burning anger forced him wide awake, adrenaline in his system. He lunged at the men to tear their throats out with his bear hands but he was restrained by a tightly bound rope. They laughed again at his anger and then at his sorrow. After saying a prayer for his deceased wife and son he thought of what he would do next; revenge of course. The men had mentioned that they had intended to sell him away to slavery, and that his puny wife and son would never make it. So they did them a favor and killed them the slavers laughed as they saw him become infuriated and they soon went to sleep.
In their quick haste to make fun they had not thought about the wit of they captive. While the men were taunting him, Billy had scoped out his way of escape. A razor sharp combat knife was on the belt of the second man. He squirmed over to the knife and slowly pulled it out of the man's holster. He cut open his restraints, and looked for a efficient torture tool to leave the men withering in pain. After looking around he had only found a .32 pistol. It was not a good weapon for torture so instead he decided to use the knife. After tying the men up in the same manner that he had been tied up he woke them up with a swift kick to their "vital area". They woke up screaming pain, Billy had forgotten about his steel toed boots, he smiled at the result of the awakening. Not listening to their pleas for mercy he amputated their arms, legs and tesitcles. Their torsos were the only things left, and they were still alive... barely.
Billy walked to his dead family and looked to the sky. He had no reason to live anymore, just alive with his pain. No one will do this to anyone again, Billy was sure of it.
