Tonight, I&#8217;m standing inside an old castle nestled somewhere in the hills of Europe. Deep within the stone of this fortress, which remains unchanged since the medieval age in which it was built, lies a solitary room that not a sliver of sunlight can reach. Quite unsettling, wouldn&#8217;t you agree? I&#8217;ll do my best to give you all an honest report, so I hope you will have the courage to follow along.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;In the center of this cold room, I can see a large rack with a number of leather straps suspended from it. Perhaps they tied people to this contraption? Beyond it, I see a large, triangular wooden horse and a mannequin, of all things. Deep within, I spy a sort of chair with restraints attached to it&#8230; And it seems that there are several cables extending out from its backrest, all leading to a large machine in the corner of the room\u2026 And my intuition is telling me this is an electric chair!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Calm down, Dorothy, just stay calm and take deep breaths. In\u2026and out again&#8230;&#8230;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;What is all this they have hanging from the wall? Shackles connected by iron chains, thick leather whips&#8230; Mercy me, I can&#8217;t imagine what they might use these saws and pliers for. I can even see a few gags fashioned like steel masks, staring right down at me!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I wonder if those following along have been able to put the scene together yet? That\u2019s right, this is a room built specifically for inflicting torture \u2013 a truly spine-tingling chamber that&#8217;s claimed the lives of hundreds. It is astonishing to think Matthew was able to escape from this place with his life.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Matthew? Would you happen to be speaking of Matthew Farrell?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Goodness gracious!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Now, now, don&#8217;t stare at me like I&#8217;m some kind of spirit, my dear. I&#8217;m Dr. Eugene, caretaker of this castle. We spoke on the phone.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;And how long have you been standing there?!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Since before you entered this room. I believe you mistook me for a mannequin.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But you look as shriveled up as a mummy&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Ahem!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Oh, um, excuse me. I think all this eerie excitement must have sent me into some sort of temporary delirium.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Think nothing of it, my dear. I&#8217;m very honored to be interviewed by such a prestigious journalist \u2013 especially since you were so quick to uncover all the charming details this room has to offer.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Are you an acquaintance of Matthew&#8217;s?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;An acquaintance? Oh, we&#8217;re far more than that. We&#8217;ve attempted to kill each other several times, and I for one can&#8217;t wait to run into him again.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Y-you aren&#8217;t going to torture me and force me to tell you where he is, are you?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Hah hah hah! You may rest at ease. Despite how I may look, I\u2019m a gentleman. And it&#8217;s a policy of mine to never interrogate anyone when business is not involved.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Well, that is a relief. Once I get back, I&#8217;ll tell Matthew to watch out for you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;By all means, Ms. Thompson.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAMPAIGN UPDATES Stretch Goals Since our last update you smashed another stretch goal for each title.
