A hot steel band tightened around the boy's chest. He had to close his eyes and fight for breath at the horror of the memory. "This terrible place." he whispered.
"Where is it?"
"Underground. A mine. No, it was a tunnel. It was very old. I think it's always been there."
"What happened when you went there?"
"A sacrifice."
"Someone died?" the priest asked.
"Yes. Someone. A good friend."
"Who killed this person?"
The boy slowly opened his eyes. "They did."
