What is the disadvantage of joining the Illuminati?
What is the disadvantage of joining the Illuminati? A number of people would like to join the illuminati (Frères-Maçons of Zion) and maybe are not aware of who is at the top of the pyramid of such secret organisation/ society!? Such people would usually love to be wherever power and fame is, and they may even answer you “I don't care.” I say: It is their duty and obligation to fully know what they're up to — that is if they get selected/ accepted by that sinister discipline.

Corrupted
I have to see her. I need to. I did this all for her. Lily let out a sigh. The day was already turning into an exhausting one, and it was only the morning. Cries and howls from patients echoed down the hallway. She couldn’t help but stare out the window. The summer sun shone brightly amidst a vibrant blue sea. She enjoyed these days, where warm gentle breezes were allowed into the ward, carrying the faint fragrance of lavender. The only time that the ward felt pleasant. What I wouldn’t do to be out there, dancing in the sun. She smiled at the thought. Tonight I will be.

Chains and shackles
The only thing that entertained her in the silent, dark room was the sound of the rain pounding on the windows. She waited for him to come back while she sat there by herself, terrified in her chains and shackles. The wait was terrible even though she knew he would eventually arrive and free her from her suffering. She had no idea how long she had been there or how many days had gone since he had abducted her out of the dark of night from her family’s house. She just knew that he had kidnapped her and that she was now his captive. She was now at his mercy. She tensed when the door opened with a squeak. In the shadows, she couldn’t see who it was, but she knew it.He was oppressive and threatening all at the same time. Since he had seized her, he was the only one she had seen, and it was he who had bound and shackled her. He approached her and turned to face her with a chilly gaze. Although it was too dark for her to see his eyes, she hoped she could. She could just make out the silhouette of his threatening form in the hallway’s poor light. He asked, his voice cold and lifeless, “Are you ready for your punishment, my pet?” She remained silent. She lacked the guts to challenge him or the strength to speak. She was aware of what was going to happen and she feared it more than anything. He raised her to her feet by stooping down and grabbing hold of her shackles. She staggered forward due to the prolonged standing on her weakened legs. She cried out in agony as the shackles chafed her skin and the chains rattled. He led her out of the room and down the hallway while the sound of the rain outside could be heard. Her legs trembled in fear and exhaustion as she fought to keep up with him. She was ignorant of his intended course of action or where he wanted to take her. She was only aware of his authority and her captivity. As they stepped outdoors into the heavy rain, she felt the dampness seeping through her garments. Her teeth rattled from the cold, and she shook. She turned to face him in the moonlight, trying to read his expression. He took her to a tiny storage building that was tucked away in a backyard corner. Although she had never seen it before, she was aware that he had been organizing this for a while. They entered once he unlocked the door, the sound of the rain receding behind them. A wooden post with manacles affixed stood in the center of the room. She was utterly motionless once he brought her over to the post and fastened her chains and shackles to it. Even though she made an effort to fight the shackles, they remained in place, biting into her flesh and making the anguish she already felt worse. He took a step back and turned to face her, the faint light allowing his eyes to finally be seen. They lacked any empathy or comprehension and were icy and forgiving. She gave him a terrified look as she remained silent. Do you understand why you are here? He spoke without showing any emotion. She shrugged but refrained from speaking. You ignored me. You violated the laws. You must now make amends for your wrongdoings.She was forced to look up at him when he moved closer and grabbed hold of her chin. She felt as though all of her self-respect and dignity were being taken from her by the way his eyes pierced into hers. “You are mine, and you will obey my commands. My pet, is that clear? She nodded once again, her voice expressing her agony and dread. He let go of her chin and whispered, “Good.” Then let’s get started. She realized that she was ready to be punished when he lowered himself and removed a whip from a nearby table. She screamed in agony as the whip struck her back and the sound of it breaking through the air resonated throughout the room. But the suffering was just the start.He kept whipping her repeatedly till she lost track of how many laces she had got. She sobbed as she heard the rain outside, and she thought she would never be able to stop the pain and suffering he was causing her. He finally laid the whip down and took a step back, his gaze calculating and icy. “Keep this in mind, my pet. You will obey my commands because you are mine. I will have no option but to punish you even more brutally if you disobey me once again. She was left to her suffering as he turned around and left the room. She hung there for what seemed like hours, shattered and alone. However, she was certain that her misery would last even when the outer rain stopped. She would always be at his mercy since she was his prisoner.

One Bad Turn Deserves Another
A fortnight has passed and I thought of reconsidering. In spite of my trepidation, I had deftly convinced myself that I have been grossly mistaken; delusional, and that I should just be going home. But then I remembered. There is no home. I saw to that. I have spent the last two weeks wandering aimlessly in these woods, trying to stay under the radar of anyone who may recognize me. Maybe you couldn’t help what you did. Maybe you were acting on s

Reconnaissance
RECONNAISSANCE RECONNAISSANCE The outside world was a mystery encapsulated within a cloud of ambiguity in her mind that even the glimpses through the window in ‘his’ station could not clear. The sickly pallor of the miasma drifting over the ephemera of some wasted expanse gave the desolation in her soul a pallet with which to torment her imagination. She can only see a fraction of the teasing portal, yet still presses her face between the bars with eyes groping for anything more the dismal vantage will betray before her chance is lost.

THE DARK AND STORMY NIGHT
It was a dark and stormy night, the kind of night where you could barely see your own hand in front of your face. The rain was coming down in sheets, the wind howling like a pack of wolves. It was the kind of night that made you want to stay inside, safe and warm, and wait for the storm to pass.
