The monstrosity’s tentacles removed Brenna’s gag once a day. Precious seconds elapsed before gruel was forced down her throat and she was re-gagged. Enough time for a few words each day.
“Let me go!” A look of disdain in its four, ghastly eyes.

“Assholes!”

“Have you noticed…”
“…that you’re different?”
“That they’re inseparable?” A pause?
