Oh, wow. Thank you!

Strong sci-fi right there... Love it..

Thank you, Ablaze!

Sad, scary, tragic. I felt relief for the poor tortured narrator.

Shows there's a silver-lining to even the most grim of circumstances. Thank you for reading!

Oh my, that one packs a punch, @anikekirsten! To be free at any price must mean that life was really not worth living under the circumstances. Thanks for your entry, and for joining up with the 50-words clan. I love your work!

Indeed, and a sentiment shared by so many unfortunately in circumstances that lead them to perceive such. Thank you, Jayna, and thanks for hosting this lovely challenge!

Haha! Freedom has its price :D

That it does. Some cases cost more than others, but it's a commodity any way you look at it.

Perhaps death by vacuum would be preferable to laboratory torture?

I'm still uncertain...

😄😇😄

@creatr

Got to weigh those pros and cons, see which is less con-y. Thanks for reading, Creatr!

At least at the end they were sane, so they hadn't lost their mind. (Although the calmness of seeing your own death coming might normally be more unsettling; maybe our character had cracked after all. Finally, sweet, sweet release.)

Possibly insane. Though, in regards to what they dealt with, would it not be more sane to embrace such a fate? switches to inner-Noby Then again, what is sanity?

The prisoner has been liberated. How grimdark of you...

Haha, you know how it rolls. Happy ending? Nah.
