I already have two padawans, but it sounds like Reke will be wrapped up with real life for a while, so I am capable of taking a third. I'm a pretty quiet guy, but I'm friendly and can be more outgoing at times. I mainly write action-adventure stories but with some aspects of other genres sprinkled in. I've also been told my strengths are my plots and characters, which I have to agree with. But if you're looking for an emotional writer that can spend pages describing the most miniscule of details, then I'm probably not your guy.

Metal surrounded him on all sides. The crudely made box was no more than six feet wide, barely long enough for John to lay down in, and only three feet tall. His throat was sore from screaming and his hands were bloody from the hours of pounding on the metal door. He knew he was not going to break his way out though with blunt force, just as he knew he wouldn't be freed just because he screamed to be let out. But he couldn't help it.
It was too painful to lie still. His body was brimming with energy, his mind was racing too fast for him to focus on just one thing at a time, and his heart was beating so hard it felt like it was about to burst right through his chest. He knew that he had been drugged. John had experimented around in the past, and this mixture of euphoria and paranoia was too familiar to be mistaken; someone had injected him with some hardcore psychostimulants.
He didn't know how long he had been struggling, but it must have been hours. Bone poked through under the bloody pulp of skin, but he had stopped registering any pain long ago. John had to escape, and he would do so at any cost. There were other sounds outside his box, and he didn't like them. They all sounded very tired and weak, but on multiple occasions John had heard growling noises and faint scratches around him.

Footsteps were approaching, which made him pound and howl even harder. The box was completely solid, except at the center of the door where there was a layer of thick steel mesh a foot or so wide. Through this makeshift window John could see the fuzzy shape of a man outlined by the glow of a flashlight. The man bent down in front of the mesh, looking inside the cage. John couldn't make out the man's features, but through the steel wiring could see that the man was giving him a twisted, rotten smile.
That smile was all he could take. John punched the mesh as hard as he could... and was shocked as his fist pierced through the steel wiring.

The startled man tried to back away, but it was too late. He screamed as John's ring and pointer fingers disappeared into his eyes, clawing through the white and black goo and digging deep into the bone of his eye sockets. The next thing he knew he was flying forward, his face smashing up against the mesh.
The stranger thrashed and tried to pull away, but John's grip tightened. Screams became replaced by gurgles as John's thumb pierced through the skin right below the man's chin, up through his mouth and hooking around his jaw. He now had the stranger's skull in a death-grip.
John continued to pull the man's head forward, the skin around his cheeks disappearing as the sharp steel wiring peeled it away. Eventually the man screamed himself unconsciousness, but by then his entire head and neck were already in the cage with John, and from around that neck John saw the glint of a silver chain. Pulling it, he found that it contained the key to his cage at the end.
He pushed the stranger's unconscious head back through and reached through the hole with his new key. After feeling around for a few minutes, he found and unlocked the bolt holding him in, and staggered forward from his cage.
John picked up the man's flashlight, but his eyes were so used to the dark he could barely see. He slowly walked forward several steps before his knees bumped into more metal. It was another cage. As his eyes adjusted to the new light, he noticed that he was underground, and there were dozens of cages all around him.

Prior to his capture, he had been out partying with a few of his buddies at one of the fraternity houses, but before he knew it things began to out of control and the rest of the night became a blu

e could distinctly remember the flashing sirens as the police pulled up to the house, and then him being caught up in the frenzy as the group of college students fled their arrest. In his drunken state he could not remember where he had parked his car. As the alcohol really hit his system he lost all concept of where he was, and in his paranoid state had run mindlessly for what seemed like hours, long after he had escaped the sirens.
That's when the sinister figure descended upon him, and he ended up here in his cage.
Hours of his confinement had quickly turned into days. Several times a shadowy figure had come down to check up on him. He never brought food or water, only appearing briefly to peak in the cage and make sure his prisoner was still alive before disappearing. Each time John pleaded with and threatened the figure to let him go, but it he never said a word in return.
