The Messiah Complex
They had him taped to the floor. When they were holding him down and placing one piece of tape after the other, he'd smiled. Faintly so as not to be noticed, but a smile nevertheless. They didn't have enough tape to hold a person flat to the ground.
But when they'd left him there, try as he might, he couldn't move.
Now the water was drop-by-drop filling the small room. In a few more hours, the water would reach his nose and mouth and he'd eventually drown.
This would certainly be one of the worst ways he'd ever been killed.
