Finish the story begins with: “The team employed the use of Nightshade to get the information they wanted from their captive.”
You better start spilling your guts Mr O’Grogean or it’s curtains for you.
Still not talking? Let’s give you a little incentive.
In my hand I have essence of nightshade. I will inject it into your neck Mr O’Grogean and the effects will be none too pleasant.
Let me elaborate. Your brain when the nightshade enters will swell, then explode, then what you think is a nasal discharge will in fact be your brains seeping out of your skull.
So you can save yourself that misery Mr O’Grogean.
Just for your own benefit Mr O’Grogean the nightshade wont kill you but it will leave you…you know…not much of a man…
Ah yes, gold, good, Tuesday, six pm, good, in the third carriage excellent that’s what we wanted to know.
Thanks Mr O’Grogean…….shoot him!!

Oh the poor man, dead whatever he did or said.
Thanks Sally, appreciate you stopping by.
Great story! Too bad the man had to die at the end. I thought you did very well with this prompt sentence.
Thanks Joy glad you thought so.
️Tehehee. Great story.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it.
classic torture scene. Well done.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed my tale.
It would be foolish to think he’d live, regardless of his cooperation… By the by, I looked up “flannel flowers”–very pretty, thanks for teaching me a new floral enjoyment. PS: I SO LOVE a beautifully poisonous blossom….must find the old poem in my files that used one… Hope your day is going well–Tuesday Down Under, eh?
Thanks Val, well it was Tuesday when you wrote your comment its now Wednesday morning, almost time for morning tea….
Goodness, how the wings of time beat fast.
Well done, Michael 🙂 For some reason, this reminded me of a “Father Brown” story. No particular one mind you, it just felt very Father Brown-ish.
Well I haven’t watched FR Brown but I know the show you refer to….its been on ABC of an afternoon lately…..I have noticed as I flick by the channels….
It’s really good. He’s quite sneaky (in a good way) and annoys the heck out of the Inspector 😀
Oh my such torture …and you have that shocking ending…he still dies. Well written, Michael.
Thank you Cheryl-Lyn sadly yes there was no justice for him. Hope you are doing your holiday and self proud taking plenty of YOU time..
I have not told anyone I am on vacation yet so I can do just that;)
Good for you. Enjoy each day.
Love the structure of this story…. well done. Poor tortured soul… he was never going to live. Great story!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Appreciate your thoughts.
A very cleverly told and chilling story, Michael. 🙂 Really well done.
Thanks Louise, glad you could stop by.
A scary scene! The ending fits, though it’s sad for the captive.
Promises of relief is why we want the torture to end. Very powerful!
Ugh! Why do they always fall for that. Not like they are gonna’ be left to live anyway.
One wonders….
