Who's Watching Who

I immediately jump to my feet.  The drop from the window into the basement is about six feet;  I am four foot nine.  I hit hard on the basement floor.  Just thick concrete, I scrape both my knees.  Too dark.  I fumble in my backpack for a flashlight.  At last.  Contact.  I turn it on, I can see the horror of it all!  Nine foot chains hang from the ceiling with handcuffs attached.  Various torture instruments hang neatly along the walls like tools in a mechanic's garage.  This is far from a mechanic's garage.  Along the crease of the wall and the floor, I shine my light down on massive blood pools.  I feet faint.  Everything gets blurry.  "Oh, ****!", are my last words before I black out and hit the floor again!
