--------------------------------------

The city was a neon jungle, pulsating with a rhythm of desire and decay. Blain was a creature of this nocturnal world, a phantom gliding through the shadows. He was a callboy, a term he preferred to the more clinical sex worker and a euphemism for a life stripped bare of dignity. This title held a certain allure, a hint of danger and forbidden fruit. But behind the facade of confidence, a toxic storm raged within him.

"I'm not above a love to cash in

Another lover underneath those flashin' lights

Another one of those ruthless nights

Yeah, yeah, yeah."

The liquid ecstasies called Poppers were his poison of choice. The initial rush, the heady euphoria, was a temporary escape from the harsh realities of his life. But the comedown was a cruel mistress, leaving him hollow and desperate for another hit. Samuel, his pimp, was a shark, smelling blood in the water. He had seen and exploited Blain's vulnerability, transforming the young callboy into a cash cow.

Samuel was a chameleon, able to shift his personality to suit any situation. In public, he was a suave businessman, always impeccably dressed. However, Samuel was a predator behind closed doors, his eyes cold and calculating. He had a knack for finding young, impressionable boys like Blain and turning them into commodities.

Blain remembered the day Samuel approached him. It was after a particularly brutal shift, and he was slumped in a dimly lit alleyway, the taste of poppers lingering on his tongue. Samuel had found him there, a vulture circling its prey. With a predatory smile, he had offered Blain a way out, a promise of easy money and a life of luxury. Desperate and naive, Blain had fallen for the trap.

Now, he was trapped in a gilded cage. Samuel had provided him with a luxurious apartment filled with designer clothes and expensive electronics. But it was a prison, a gilded cage from which there seemed no escape. Every night, he was paraded in front of wealthy clients, his body a commodity to be bought and sold. The money flowed freely, but so did the poison.

The poppers became a constant companion, a way to numb the pain and the humiliation. He had tried to quit countless times, but the withdrawal symptoms were too much to bear. The shakes, the anxiety, the paranoia – they were a living hell. Samuel knew his weakness and used it to control him.

There were nights when Blain would lie awake, staring at the ceiling, the weight of his world pressing down on him. He would think of his childhood, of the boy who dreamed of becoming a writer, of exploring the world. Now, his world was reduced to a few square meters of luxury and the bodies of strangers.

There were moments of rebellion when he would try to fight back. He would lash out at Samuel and threaten to expose him. But Samuel was always one step ahead, his words like daggers, cutting Blain down to size. He would remind Blain of his debts, the people he owed money to, and the consequences of failure.

"I shoulda guessed that this would happen

I shoulda known it when I looked in your red-hot eyes

Spewin' all your red-hot lies

Yeah, yeah, yeah."

One night, after a particularly degrading encounter, Blain decided enough was enough. He packed a small bag with trembling hands, planning to disappear into the night. A few clothes, some money, and a handful of poppers were all Blain could carry. But as he was about to leave the apartment, he heard Samuel's voice. "Where do you think you are going, Blain?"

Fear gripped Blain as he turned to face his captor. Samuel was standing in the doorway, a menacing glint in his eyes. "You think you can just walk away? You owe me, boy. And you are going to pay."

Samuel had brought a group of enforcers, their faces masked by the darkness. Blain was beaten, broken, and brought back to his nightmare.

The gilded cage was waiting for him, and there was no escape. The poppers were back, the endless nights of performance. The cycle continued a relentless march toward oblivion.

Blain knew then that escape was impossible. Samuel had him trapped, body and soul. He was a pawn in a deadly game, and the stakes were higher than he could ever imagine. The city that had once seemed like a playground now felt like a prison. And the poison that coursed through his veins was slowly killing him, one hit at a time.

The days blurred into one another, a monotonous cycle of drugs, sex, and despair. The lines between reality and fantasy began to blur. Blain saw shadows in the corners of his eyes and heard whispers in the wind. The poppers had taken their toll, not just on his body but on his mind.

"What's the worst part of this hell?

I can only blame myself."

Surrounded by the familiar luxury, his world seemed to tilt on its axis. Panic seized him as he realized he could not breathe. His heart pounded in his chest, a frantic drumbeat of terror. He was having a panic attack, a full-blown meltdown brought on by the toxic cocktail of drugs and stress.

He screamed, his voice a hoarse, desperate cry. Samuel burst into the room, his face a mask of concern. But Blain could see the cold calculation in his eyes. "Calm down, Blain," he said, his voice soothing. "It is going to be okay."

But it was not okay. Nothing was okay. Blain was drowning, and there was no lifeguard in sight. He was a puppet on a string, dancing to Samuel's tune. And the music was a mournful dirge, a requiem for his lost soul.

The physical toll of the poppers was becoming increasingly apparent. Blain's body was wasting away, and his skin was pale and translucent. He was constantly sick, and his immune system was compromised. And yet, he could not stop. The addiction had a grip on him that was almost supernatural. As the curtain fell on another night, Blain wondered if there would ever be a tomorrow.

"'Cause I know you're poison

You're feedin' me poison

Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow

Up your poison

I made my choice, and

Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow."

When he lay in bed one night, weakened by fever, he gazed at his reflection in the mirror. The image staring back at him appeared ethereal, a mere specter of his once robust self. The realization that he was gradually succumbing to illness loomed over him, casting a shroud of fear upon his fragile state. Fear gave way to anger, a white-hot rage that consumed him. He wanted to lash out and destroy everything and everyone in his path. But he was too weak, too broken. He was a prisoner in his body, a ghost trapped in a machine.

As the days turned into weeks, Blain's world shrank. He existed in a bubble, a sterile environment where nothing mattered except the next hit, the next client. He was a zombie, walking through life without really living.

While preparing for a date one night, he looked at himself in the mirror. The man staring back at him was a ghost, a hollow shell of the person he once was. The poppers offered a temporary respite, but the poison was slowly killing him. His eyes were sunken, his skin a sickly yellow. He looked like death warmed up. A wave of despair washed over him. He could not do this anymore. He had to find a way out, or he would die.

Determination flickered in his eyes. He would fight. He would escape. He would reclaim his life. But as he reached for the phone to make a plan, his hand trembled. He was weak, and he knew it. Samuel was a formidable opponent. The battle for his soul was far from over. The road ahead would be long and arduous, filled with challenges and setbacks. But for the first time in a long time, Blain felt a glimmer of hope. He was still alive, and that was a start.

Blain knew he needed help, someone to pull him out of the abyss. But who could he trust? The world Blain inhabited was treacherous and filled with predators and prey. He thought of the few friends he had made, but they were as caught in the city's web as he was.

Desperation gnawed at him. He remembered a social worker. She was a kind woman named Kella, who had visited his school years ago. She had seen something in him, a spark of intelligence and resilience. Perhaps she could help.

It was a long shot, but it was all he had. With trembling hands, he found an old address book and searched for the name. There, at the bottom of a dusty page, was her number. He dialed, his heart pounding in his chest.

The phone rang for what felt like an eternity. When a voice finally answered, it was not Kella's. It was a man with a stern, impatient tone. Blain explained who he was and why he was calling. There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Then, the man said, "I will give her a message." And he hung up.

Disappointment washed over Blain. It was a dead end. He was alone. He existed as a specter within the device, and the device was wearing away at him.

The physical toll of the poppers was becoming unbearable. Blain's body was a battleground, a constant war between life and death. He was losing weight rapidly, his skin was jaundiced, and his eyes were permanently bloodshot. He was a walking corpse, a testament to the destructive power of addiction.

Samuel noticed the decline. His concern was feigned, but there was a flicker of something else in his eyes, a hint of satisfaction. Blain was becoming a liability, a ticking time bomb.

As Blain was preparing for a date one evening, Samuel called him into his office. His demeanor was unusually calm, almost gentle. "Blain, we need to talk," he began.

Blain braced himself. He knew what was coming. Samuel offered him a deal. He would allow Blain to get clean and start a new life. But there was a catch. Blain would have to work for him and pay off his debt. This was a twisted offer, a cruel game. But Blain was desperate. He agreed. It was a chance, however slim, to escape Samuel's clutches.

"Oh-oh, oh-oh

Any way you want me, baby

That's the way you got me, I'll be yours

My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison."

The rehab center was a cold, sterile place. Blain felt like a fish out of water. The other patients were mostly addicts and alcoholics, people who had hit rock bottom. But there was a sense of camaraderie among them, a shared experience of pain and suffering.

The withdrawal was excruciating. The physical symptoms were bad enough - the shakes, the sweats, the insomnia - but the psychological torment was even worse. The demons of Blain's past crept into his mind, torturing him with images of his life on the streets.

Yet Blain was determined. He clung to the hope of a new beginning, a chance to rebuild his life. Blain also attended therapy sessions and poured his heart out to the counselors. He started to understand the root of his problems. It was the deep-seated insecurity that had made him vulnerable to Samuel's manipulation.

The road to recovery was long and arduous. There were setbacks and moments of weakness when Blain craved the familiar oblivion of the poppers. But with the support of the counselors and his fellow patients, he slowly started to rebuild himself.

Meanwhile, Samuel was growing impatient. He needed Blain back to work. The money was drying up, and his empire was starting to crumble. He sent goons to the rehab center to intimidate Blain, to remind him of the consequences of failure. However, Blain was better now. He had found a strength within himself that he never knew existed and refused to be intimidated. He was finally determined to break free from Samuel's control.

"I got so good at bein' untrue

I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear

I disassociate, disappear

Yeah, yeah, yeah."

The day of his release from rehab arrived. It was a bittersweet moment. He was leaving the safety of the rehab center, but he was also stepping into the unknown. He had no job, no place to live, and no money. But he had hope.

As he walked out of the rehab center, he felt a sense of freedom he had not experienced in years. The world was a vast, intimidating place but also full of possibilities. He was scared, but he was also excited.

He had a long road ahead but was ready to face it. He was no longer a victim. He was a survivor. And he was going to fight for his life.

The world outside the rehab center was a stark contrast to the sterile, controlled environment he had been in. The city, once a menacing jungle, now felt overwhelming. He was a small, vulnerable creature in a concrete labyrinth.

He found a cheap motel on the outskirts of town where the shadows seemed to linger a little longer. It was far from ideal, but it was a roof over his head. His days were spent job hunting, a fruitless endeavor. The stigma of his past was a burden, and employers always hesitated to hire someone with a gap in their employment history.

Nights were the hardest. The loneliness was a palpable presence, a cold, empty space that filled Blain's apartment. The memories of his life with Samuel crept in, taunting him with promises of easy money and a life of luxury. There were moments when the temptation to call Samuel was almost overwhelming. But he pushed those thoughts away, reminding himself of the hell he had escaped.

His addiction was in remission, but the cravings were still there, a constant undercurrent in his mind. He attended NA meetings, found a sponsor, and tried to build a support network. It was a slow, painful process, but it was necessary.

While walking home from a particularly discouraging job search one evening, he saw a flyer for a local community theater. They were holding auditions for a new production. On a whim, he decided to give it a try. Acting had always been a secret passion. As a child, he had spent countless hours pretending to be different people, escaping into imaginary worlds. Now, it seemed like a lifeline.

The auditions were nerve-wracking, but he surprised himself with his performance. He channeled his pain and anger into the character, bringing a raw intensity to the scene. When he finished, there was a stunned silence in the room. Then, applause.

He did not get the lead role but was offered a small part. It was a start. The theater became his sanctuary, where he could lose himself and forget his troubles. He made friends with the other actors, who accepted him for who he was.

Slowly but surely, Blain began to rebuild his life. He found a part-time job at a local coffee shop and continued to audition for acting roles. His life was still a patchwork of challenges, but there was a sense of purpose now, a belief that he could overcome anything.

Samuel, meanwhile, was not giving up. He had people watching Blain, tracking his every move. He knew Blain was trying to escape his clutches and was determined to bring him back.

"So far beyond difficult

To resist another gulp."

One night, as Blain was leaving the theater, he was ambushed. Two men, rough and menacing, grabbed him and dragged him into a waiting car. Fear gripped him as he was bundled into the backseat. He recognized one of the men as one of Samuel's henchmen.

The car sped off into the night, and Blain's heart sank. It was happening again. He was being pulled back into the darkness. But this time, he was different. He was stronger. He had fought too hard to give up now.

As the car raced through the city, Blain's mind raced. He had to escape. He had to find a way to fight back. He knew that Samuel was desperate, and he would stop at nothing to get him back. But Blain was also desperate. He was fighting for his life, freedom, and soul.

The car came to a screeching halt in front of an abandoned warehouse. Blain was dragged out and pushed inside. The door slammed shut behind him, leaving him alone in the darkness.

The warehouse was cold and damp, the air thick with decay. Blain was thrown into a corner, his body aching from the rough handling. His heart pounded like a trapped bird against his ribs. He could hear the muffled sounds of voices approaching. Fear clawed at his insides, but he tried to stay calm. He knew he had to think and find a way out.

The door creaked open, and Samuel stepped into the room. His face was illuminated by a single, bare bulb hanging from the ceiling. Behind him stood two burly men, their arms crossed, expressions hard. A cruel smile played on his lips. "Well, well, well," he said, his voice dripping with contempt. "Look who is back after playing hide-and-seek."

Blain tried to meet his gaze, but his eyes were filled with fear. Samuel walked towards him, his steps slow and deliberate. He stopped in front of Blain, towering over him. Then, Samuel punched him several times. His moves were so fast that Blain could not react. Samuel pushed him against the cold, concrete wall, making his mind race. Blain tried to remember the self-defense techniques he had learned in a desperate attempt to survive his old life. But his body felt heavy, his limbs unresponsive.

"You think you can escape me, boy?" Samuel sneered. "You are a fool if you do."

Blain's throat was dry. He tried to speak, but no words came out. He was trapped, a helpless animal cornered by a predator. Samuel grabbed Blain by the collar, pulling him to his feet.

"You are mine, Blain," Samuel said, his voice low and menacing. "And you are going to stay mine."

Blain struggled to break free, but Samuel's grip was like iron. He felt a sharp pain in his arm as Samuel injected him with something. Samuel's smile widened, revealing a set of perfect, predatory teeth.

"Don't worry, darling," he purred, his voice dripping with false sympathy. "This will not hurt a bit."

The world began to spin, and Blain felt a wave of nausea wash over him. He collapsed to the ground, his vision blurring. As consciousness slipped away, Blain saw Samuel's face, a mask of triumph. He was back in the darkness, and there was no escape this time.

After a couple of hours, Blain was woken up with a bucket of cold water. In his daze, Blain saw Samuel gesturing for the two men to approach him. They stepped forward, their eyes glinting with a cruel satisfaction. Their hands reached for him. One man lifted Blain up and undressed him while the other put his clothes off. After the three of them were all naked, the two men started playing with Blain's body to humiliate him. Everything started getting worse once they began thrusting into him at the same time and showing their sadism. Despite having slept with countless perverted clients, Blain had never felt such pain. His vision blurred as more and more terrors consumed him. A sob escaped his lips, but it was just a faint sound lost in the vast emptiness of the warehouse. Meanwhile, Samuel watched with a cold detachment, his eyes glittering with a dark satisfaction.

"Yeah, I know it's poison

You're feedin' me poison

I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow

Up your poison

I made my choice, and

Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow."

When Blain woke up again, he was in the same bed he had shared with Samuel. His body ached, and his head throbbed. He tried to sit up, but his body felt heavy like lead.

Samuel was sitting in a chair by the bed, a cold, calculating look in his eyes. "Welcome back, Blain," he said, his voice laced with venom. "I have got something special planned for you."

Blain tried to fight the panic rising in him. He knew what "special" meant. It meant more clients, more drugs, more degradation. He was trapped in a nightmare, and there was no waking up. Now, the poppers flowed freely, a constant companion in his misery. Blain became a puppet again, dancing on Samuel's strings, his soul slowly dying.

The city outside continued its relentless rhythm, indifferent to the suffering within the walls of Samuel's apartment. Blain was a ghost in this world, a forgotten soul lost in the labyrinth of addiction and despair.

Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, he would think of the life he could have had, the dreams he had once dared to dream. However, the cacophony of the city swiftly overwhelmed his thoughts, serving as an unceasing presence that underscored the harshness of his current reality. Blain was now a prisoner of his own making, a slave to the poison that consumed him. And as the days turned into months, he realized there was no getaway. He was a ghost in a machine, and the machine was grinding him down, one revolution at a time.

The cycle of exploitation continued. It was relentlessly churning out broken bodies and shattered dreams. And in the heart of the city, where neon lights painted the night sky with a false promise of glamour, many other souls were lost to the darkness. Some cried for help but, just like Blain, was met with a deafening silence.

"Poison, I'm drownin' in poison

I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow

Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison

Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow."
