Ahh, every time you update this I very nearly squeal! Another great chapter. I do have to say, I love how you haven't done any major time jumps yet. A lot of writers focusing on this situation would have already jumped to weeks or months later. I'm not saying don't do that if you plan to, but I find myself primarily drawn to the beginning - the fear, the assessment of the situation, not knowing what to expect, and ultimately the relationship built between prisoner and captors. The little, even domestic details you're giving us I just adore - Phil making Brennan eat soup for lunch, watching the news, the phone calls... it's this really eerie situation, with Phil and Al acting so normally when in reality something so terrifying is going on. I'm kinda relieved that Brennan didn't sustain any more serious injuries this chapter, the poor kid isn't going to last long if he keeps getting bones broken and teeth pulled out, etc. I'm also interested in the fact that we've just found out (right?) that Brennan is either gay or bi. I wondered if it was hinted toward with Al's lewd comment in the second chapter about no straight men wearing briefs or whatever it was, but it's interesting to note. Not that, I guess, it really matters - it's still rape that's going on, and rape is genderless - but for me, I just like that Brennan's thoughts aren't somewhere along the lines of "sick perverted faggots" or anything homophobic like that. Anyway, it's always a little disappointing to get to the end of the chapter because then I realize I have to wait for the next one still, haha. Great work!

Ugh! This story just makes me so incredibly sullen. The whole time I'm reading (this is the first time I've read this story), my heart just fucking aches in the worst way for Brennan. The whole situation is injustice in the worst way (that seems to be the phrase of the evening). From the first chapter, we know he gets out physically, but my only thought is he didn't actually escape. Now, getting away from how I feel when I read the story, it is so well-written and thought out. You're capturing the psychological aspect of this in an incredibly accurate way. I can't stomach the actual rape scenes...honestly just too much for me.
I'm curious to see how this plays out. I'm both dreading and looking forward to the next chapter.

Ok, so now Brennan has his 'own' bedroom how nice of Al and Phil......

I am wondering what's going to happen when their friend Richard and his 'little pet' Jason show up. Will he and Brennan become friends?

I was actually hoping Brennan would cave and stop fighting against them and go along with whatever they want him to do just so he can gain their trust and then work out a plan to escape. I also keep wondering when he will see his name or picture on the 24 hour news channel.

Another emotionally charged chapter,

W.T.

I am totally hooked on this story and can't help but feel compassion for poor Brennan and the ordeal he is suffering through at the hands of Phil and Al. You have really bringing this story to life through the eyes of Brennan with vivid detail. I think Brennan should definitely at least try and comply with their commands until he can figure a way to escape so things can go a little easier for him. I am really curious now as to what kind of character their friend and his companion turn out to be and how they interact with Brennan.

Poor Brennan. this story is great, your writing style is brilliant, the adrenaline, fear, pain.. great! i love stories with lots of drama and adrenaline, your writing style allows the reader to see what Brennan sees, feel what he feels, smell what he smells.. phil and al really are a couple of messed up guys though, do they feel absolutely NOTHING for Brennan? and i've wondered do they live together as friends or more than friends? update soon please!!!

Wow, this has been a captivating four chapters. I'm not sure why people have been complaining about detail to you, because I sure haven't noticed! Sometimes it doesn't matter what the characters look like, Brennen's thoughts and emotions overshadow it anyway. I think you give plenty of detail, we always know what his surroundings look, smell, sound, and hell even taste like sometimes! You do not leave any of the senses out of it, and that is how it should be! This story defiantly has the potential to be really great, so I hope you continue to write it because I really want to find out what happens. Gyah!
