Sadie awoke to find herself in a ill-lit room, the only source of light being from the small barred window. Her head was pounding and she could barely remember anything. Where was she? Why was there a shooting pain in her wrists.

Her eyes expanded slowly, taking in more of her surroundings. She was laying on the floor... no wait, she was hanging on a wall from her arms she realized. She looked up and saw the shackles around her wrists. She had no idea how long she'd been hanging here, no wonder they hurt so bad.

She got to her feet so the weight of her body was no longer entirely on her arms. It felt much better, but as the pain started to subside, it was quickly followed by a tidal wave of panic. Where is this? Why am I chained up in this place which looks distinctly like a... dungeon?

Sadie thought back hard to try and recall what happened which could have led her here. The last thing she could remember was the secret police showing up and taking her father away in an SUV for questioning. The chief inspector had then sat down with her in her home and shared some tea with her while he reassured her that her father's questioning would be routine and they would be reunited within the next few days.

The tea. He must have put something in the tea. That asshole!

She looked down and realized she was also completely naked, with the exception of her boots. She also realized it was cold in the room and started to shiver a bit. She was frightened and had no idea what to expect. She hoped she’d see her father again soon.

There was a dark hallway to her right, with bars separating her room from the hallway. A few minutes after stirring, she heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Eventually, a medical android emerged, the gray skinned ones, exactly like the sort used in the hospitals in the city. She always found it creepy that they had no visible faces. It was wheeling in a small table, which it pushed up next to Sadie without looking at her.

Sadie looked down at the table; her eyes widened and she skipped a breath. The table was covered with knives and scalpels. “Oh god, what am I doing here? What is this?” she spoke reflexively.

The android looked up at her and then froze for a moment. A few seconds later, a radio or speaker inside the android appeared to crackle on and a person’s voice came through.

“I am the Chief Inspector of Facility A39 and I am to inform you that as of yesterday evening, your father as admitted to being involved as a material aid with the Red Hand insurgents. As a result, he was tortured and executed last night. As per protocol, all remaining immediate family are also to be tortured and executed immediately. Our medical androids also make excellent executioners, and the President insisted that all traitors must pay for their sins with corporal torture.”

Her father had been killed. She realized her eyes were welling with tears. And then somewhere in her head, it suddenly clicked that she was about to die, probably horribly.

“Oh my god, please no! Please I had no idea about any of this I wasn’t involved please you have to believe me!! Please don’t hurt me please!”

She continued babbling and begging like this for a while, and after a few seconds the radio came back on and the voice replied “There is no use in begging, you are insurgent scum and will be disemboweled alive like the animals you are! Unit 29, proceed with the execution.” and then the radio cut off.

Sadie heard herself let out an audible half/scream half moan without even realizing it. They were going to disembowel her? Alive!? This can’t be happening, it can’t be. This isn’t real, I’m just dreaming!! Oh god someone help me!!!

The android started moving again and reached for the small scalpel at the end of the table, and then slowly moved it until the point was just barely pricking the soft skin right below her sternum. A single drop of red blood bubbles out and runs straight down her belly as she watches, creating a small red trail down to her belly button. A foreshadowing, she realized, of what was about to happen to her.

Her vision started to blur, and she started to feel faint from fear and anticipation. She then felt a prick on her left thigh and a sudden huge surge of adrenaline which jolted her awake. Extremely awake. They weren’t even going to let her pass out, she was starting to realize she was going to be forced to experience every second of her death.

The android sprung to life and inserted the scalpel into the soft flesh and she felt a sudden and extreme jolt of pain. The android then started to move its hard down the length of her abdomen extremely slowly. The pain was incredible, she lifted her head toward the ceiling and started screaming at the top of her lungs, scream after scream.

She looked down again, tears streaming down her cheeks, and saw he was nearly halfway down her belly. As it cut, the pressure of her internal organs started to push the two side of her abdomen apart, and some pink fleshy tubes started to protrude out through the gory slit.

She had stopped screaming and was just watching, wide eyed, an expression of pain and horror on her face, nearly hyperventilating. The android cut through her belly button in one quick motion, and then made one very quick final slice all the way down to her pubes. She pissed herself as her belly sprung open, and she screamed again at the top of her lungs as loops and coils of her bowels ballooned out before her eyes, hanging out the front of her belly, wiggling and dangling.

The android wasted no time and as she screamed and shrieked and begged for mercy, it started to tug out her colon until as much of her intestines and colon were hanging outside the front of her open belly as could be achieved without damaging them. They were pink and brown and gray, with streaks of blood dripping down them from the wound in her stomach. Fleshy pink loops and coils and spirals, it was a horrific sight to behold, and the pain was excruciating.

Finally, after giving her nearly 10 minutes to just stand there and contemplate her situation, the android pulled aside the large clump of bowel and moved it’s scalpel deep into Sadie’s belly. She couldn’t see what it was doing inside of her but she started to feel extreme cutting and burning pain deep inside her. After several minutes of this she saw her guts loosen and start to unravel before her eyes. They tumbled out and settled with a sickening splat as they slid down her thighs and piled up between her feet. The android pulled it’s hands out her her and she could see the scalpel blade was glowing red hot.

At this point Sadie could barely think straight, though she was wide awake due to whatever she had been injected with. She was screaming in her mind but her voice had failed and reduced to whisper after the pressure had released from her chest cavity. She just stood there, crying, sobbing, staring at her empty belly.

The android used the heated blade to cauterize a few remaining areas which were bleeding out, and then grabbed the table and as quickly as it had came, left her alone again in the cell.

And there she would remain. Alone, dying, but still very much alive, to think about her life as she died of infection and dehydration over the next 24-48 hours of her poor, unfortunate life.

THE END
