Screams from the Basement

After both my parents died, my brother and I were taken in by our uncle.

He was rich and lived in a villa.

One day, I heard screams coming from the villa's basement.

They were my brother's screams.

I went to investigate and saw my brother, chained by the ankle, his clothes filthy and his hair a mess, rolling around on the basement floor.
