Ripple Effect

Loud wails filled with agony continuously rang out from within the house on the ranch. One would expect that after having screamed for such a long time, that the voice would turn hoarse.

But that was not the case. In fact, the screams rang out incessantly, each one more painful and high-pitched than the last. The fear-inducing screams would make anyone's skin crawl.

The main door to the house was left ajar. If one looked at the floorboard near the door, they would find nail marks across the floor, as if someone had been viciously dragged inside.

Initially, the nail marks had only chipped the wood on the surface of the floor. But soon, these nail marks were tinged with a hint of blood, and finally, the marks on the floor were dyed a dark shade of red. One could very well imagine the extreme unwillingness of the person that had been dragged.
