We walk down a narrow passageway...unaware of what lies ahead of us...eventually we come across a sign that says "ENTER AT OWN RISK"
--escort-- Enter...you are expected...
As we walk down a long dark corridor, we can hear distant screams...as though they were in our very minds...we enter what appears to be a meeting room of some kind...no tables or chairs except for a desk just visible in the shadows...
--escort-- Please...sit...
We sit on what appear to be large tires of some kind...as we sit we hear what sounds like fighting in another room...a very large man is sitting behind the desk with his back to us...
--Man-- Welcome to my Kingdom...do not be afraid...for now...refreshments...? No...? Good...
We do not know at this point whether to say something or not...
--Man-- I am Mirage...you will refer to me as Mirage, and nothing else...do I make myself clear...?
We all nod...
--Mirage-- I don't expect for you to understand the customs of my Kingdom of Doom...but if you fall out of line, even once...
Mirage points to a narrow cage with large rusty nails sticking out...
--Mirage-- That will be your new home...do I make myself clear...?
We all nod, even harder now...I am not sure of whether or not he knows so I decide to speak...
--Boy-- C-crystal...
I must have said something wrong because he stands up and walks toward me...
--Mirage-- You got guts kid...I like guts...stand...
I did as I was told...I wondered what his face looked like behind that mask...
--Mirage-- Do not worry about what I look like behind my mask...that is unimportant...
Oh, no...did I stare?
--Mirage-- I did not say you were staring...
...?
--Mirage-- Name...
Did he want to know my name?
--Mirage-- NAME!!
--Boy-- Joe, my name is Joe...
--Mirage-- Well, Joe...are you afraid...?
--Joe-- ...y-yes, sir...
--Mirage-- I told you...Mirage, and Mirage ONLY!!
I shuddered...
--Mirage-- There is no need to be afraid...ever think of becoming a wrestler?
--Joe-- Well...once, Mirage...
--Mirage-- Well put a smile on, boy...
He turned to a man in a dark corner I never noticed before...
--Mirage-- Take this lot and throw them out...they can find their own way home...
One of the lot behind me tried to protest...
--Kid-- But, sir! We don't even know how we got here...
--Mirage-- But first throw this one in the cage...
He did as he was told...so quickly in fact, the kid was in the cage before I knew what happened...screaming...
--Mirage-- Keep your mouth shut or you will not come out...Take them out...
The escort did as he was told...everyone was leaving and I tried to follow...
--Mirage-- Joseph! Where do you think you are going?
How did he know my full name?
--Mirage-- You are one of us now...welcome to the Kingdom...of Doom...
He threw me a black armband...
--Mirage-- Put this on...show some respect...go into that other room and meet your new family...
I did...as I went in I saw a man in the back of the room lifting very large amounts of weights...I didn't know for sure, but I thought I could hear a short scream, and the sound of piercing metal...
