Pain throbbed throughout my body. I could feel something warm dripping down the side of my face. It felt like I had the hangover from hell. I opened my eyes. They felt heavy. My vision was blurred. The edges of my world were in darkness. I winced in pain, as I tried to breathe. My ribs were broken. Strong hands were hooked under each of my arms. I was being dragged. Using every ounce of strength I could muster, I looked up. I was in a hallway. A red carpet ran the length of the hallway. Framed pictures were upon the walls. A young man was stood by a wooden door with a golden handle. He looked nervous. If I had to guess I would say he was an intern. He was not expecting to see a badly beaten prisoner. The young man opened the door and stepped back. I was dragged into an office. The size of the office instantly put into perspective the enormity of its owner’s role. This was a big cheese. The far window overlooked the moon colony. I knew this from the glass dome that covered the town. A wooden desk sat before the window. Bookshelves were along the walls. There were a few potted plants in the room, but they looked plastic and fake, like a page three girls boobs. The office was designed with a cold sense of duty. It was the type of office that was supposed to make you feel small. I was dropped down onto the floor. I groaned in agony. Everything hurt. ‘ Prisoner 3-57,’ said a familiar voice. I glared up at the man sitting behind the desk. ‘ Warden,’ I growled out the word. The Warden was a tall man, standing at the grand height of six foot five inches tall. He liked to keep himself in shape and was known for being a bit of a brawler. This sadistic fuck liked to fight the prisoners in a one on one street fight. Of course, he would only fight them after his guards beat the shit out of them. The man liked an audience. He would make the other prisoners watch. I had taken a few public beatings in my time. He had a military style crew cut and wore a smart black suit. ‘ I have good news and bad news,’ said The Warden. I said nothing in reply. What twisted plan did he have for me today? ‘ The good news is that I have granted you an audience with your Father.’ I think the shocked expression on my face said it all. ‘He has travelled all the way from Earth just to see you. Would you like to hear the bad news?’ His sickening smile was so wide that for a moment I thought it might consume his eyes and ears. ‘Your father has decided to sell you to me.’ The Warden and his two guards laughed. ‘He is getting a nice big fat pay-off and you are being entered into an exciting new experiment. It is called the prisoner program.’ The Warden leaned forward and looked over the table at me. ‘It is going to be a living hell.’ I woke with a start. It took a moment for my brain to return to reality. Where was I? I looked around at my surrounding. I looked at the beautiful woman cuddled
