Decisions, decisions, incision decisions. Where should I cut first? Taunted the masked man walking around the table.

Alan lay motionless. If he wasn't already paralysed by the injections, he was by the fear that coursed through him. And for what? The kindness he decided to show to a stranger in the dark.

Not being so trusting would be a hard lesson for him to learn. Not that he would get the chance to learn it. As he drifted off, he wondered what would happen to the other people trapped with him in the back of the van.
