“Day 24. Situation is growing worse. My captors continue to find new and horrific ways to torture me. When not working, Agent Scarlet spends her days examining fabric swatches for bridesmaid dresses and going on about how in love she is.

If I were him, I would have said, 'You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth.”
