Oh, boy. That was really...heavy. Hard to remember that Brennan actually comes out of all this. I've been reading this story since the beginning. Don't think I've reviewed yet, don't know why...but I'll definitely be waiting to see what happens next. You're a talented writer.

Please tell me things will get better soon!!! As the other reviewer I must say this is one of the best story I 've ever read on this website. It's so believable, I was getting tired of those rape is love stories. Still Brennan is going to turn crazy at this rate. I think Al works in a psychiatric hospital. I want to know more of the relationship between Al and Phil, at one point I had the feeling that it was Phil that was in charge but now I think it's Al. I had hope that Brennan would manage to get out of this situation not too broken, but it's impossible now, I don't know if anybody could mentally heal after all those horrors. Can't wait until chapter 11. Thank you for your work.

Those last few lines...D= You were definitely right. This chapter was your worst(as in, the most painful and gut wrenching) in respect to torture. Although Phil is obviously naturally sadistic, I almost wonder if he isn't acting out more than normal because he knows Al just won't participate fully or completely condone his activities. Or it could be just how bad Phil is. I'm also very curious about Al's story in respect to Phil's sadism. Was Al ever in Brennan's position? Did he just learn to get off on watching Phil be sadistic(which he obvious does)? Or is it just two souls coming together in complete chaos? Where does torture begin with these two and sadomasochism end?
I'm also more concerned about infection and Brennan's health more than ever. We know he does get out and he recovers(somewhat), but I'm curious as to how he's going to change after this. Fact is, anytime these two torturers are kind, it comes at a price. So, at this point, their kindness is horrifying because it's a constant question of "What's going to happen next?"
Best of luck with your new chapter!

Oh noooo, poor Brennan! This chapter was exciting, horrifying, and exceedingly well-written. It almost felt like something out of a Hostel or Saw movie. Absolutely terrifying. Though this probably goes without saying, Brennan's really in a lot of pain. I'm kind of worried about the repeated anal tearing when Phil and Al force themselves, or in this case other objects, into him. I'm guessing they ripped him the first night and the tissue has never had the chance to really heal, and so keeps breaking open. The amount of bleeding he's done this chapter makes me really think that if Phil and Al want to keep him long term, they might have to give him some time to heal down there. Especially considering Phil used dirty objects, like the broom handle, I'd think Brennan's really at risk for infection. And that screwdriver... I'm shuddering at the thought. That, paired with his other injuries, which now include excruciating burns and the possibility of him getting sick from being starved and dehydrated while kept in a too-cold environment... I know they're trying to make an impression on him, as sadistic as they are, so Brennan won't run or fight back anymore, but ouch. :( Haha, I was almost expecting a more gentle chapter this time with Phil and Al letting him back inside, but instead things just go from bad to worse. And we don't even see the conclusion of this torture, which makes it even more scary. Phil rapes Brennan with the screwdriver and threatens not to stop until he says those degrading things believably. I have no idea what to expect next chapter at all. Thanks so much for writing and posting this long chapter! I feel like a jerk being like "WRITE MORE NOW!" but the premise of this story makes every chapter a terrible cliffhanger. I have to refrain from checking for updates like, daily. lol

Oh, my Gosh!!!!!!

I kind of new more 'torture' was coming but wasn't expecting this!!!

You really nailed it (all the terror and pain) Brennan is being subject to by his tormentor Phil. Al taking the backseat for once but getting a rush by it all. I commend Brennan for not giving up and always trying to find a way to escape or get help but it keeps backfiring on him with horrible results.

I too (like your reviewer Mint) am worried about Brennan's health/wellbeing in regards to his anal passage not having time to heal and by the repeated rapes by both men (plus them using their toys) and now a screwdriver and wooden broom handle!!! I don't know how he won't get an infection and then what will they do? Antibiotics?

I am relieved Phil didn't use 'Electric Shock Treatment' on Brennan since he mentioned a Psychiatric Hospital that really would have been horrific for Brennan!

I am telling you these cliffhangers you leave us hanging with are almost as bad to us as to what Brennan is going through.

It's very interesting to see this other side of Al too. I am learning now that he's not the sick sadistic b-s-t-r-d that Phil is and am truly beleiving that at one time Al was on the receiving end of this form of punishment just like Brennan. Al may be cruel and deliver swift punishment but not like Phil. I actually thought for a moment that Al really felt bad for Brennan.

Oh please! Would you start writing chapter 11 as soon as you are able and not leave us hanging for too long.

The way you left us with this cliffy will be giving me nightmares but I want more!!

Excellent writing and you really are bringing the characters to life in a scarey yet brilliant way.

Oh Holy Cow, please don't end it there or I am going to just die. I can't believe what they are doing to Brennan and wonder how he is going to survive it. It's horrible.... but I love it.... geeze...... this story is so addictive and I can't get enough of it.

You are the World's best author so be sure to get writing on chapter 11 FAST or I will have a brain pop.

Hey, it's me again, but I noticed a tiny little mistake and wanted to point it out to you.

In the part where Al leaves the barn and then later Phil comes in there is a paragraph that ends this way:

I looked away when Al approached the gate, a look of smug satisfaction on his face until he saw the sleeping bag. He snorted.

I think it's suppose to be Phil because Al had already left the barn. Just thought you would want to know so you can fix and hopefully I will get brownie points to get you started on chapter 11?
