Trapped in a box (closed)
for @tamingwinter
Stepping into his old house--into his father’s house--felt uncomfortable. Aside from the memories it brought up, there was something voyeuristic about it. Seeing firsthand the way his father had lived really drove home how far the man had slipped in his later days.
The power was out when he returned to the house that night. He managed to find a flashlight, and went into the basement to look for the fuse box. When he got the lights on, he turned...and saw a cage.
The cage was not unoccupied. Inside it was a man wearing his face. He stumbled backward in horror.
