DISTURBED

The walls were damp and covered with algae, she had been trapped her for three days now,covered in darkness apart from the occassional light which came when the door was opened when he wanted to bring food or talk to her. He was not rough or harsh, he talked in a tender loving voice and always referred to her as "Tofumi".
   "Tofumi,you didn't eat your food,are you sick my daughter?"  He asked on one occasion
   "I'm not Tofumi" she said admist sobs "please,let me go"
    "You are my daughter,you just don't remember, I can't be wrong about you this time" Then he pointed to a dead body that had been laying there since the 3 days she had been here
   "That was a wrong Tofumi, you don't want to be the wrong one now,do you?"
    She couldn't reply,she kept on sobbing as her mind wandered to the incident that brought her here.
   She was coming back from school when an old man had asked her for directions, upon explaining the route to him,he told her he would understand better if she took him there and with the innocence of the 10year old girl she was, she led him,passing through the bush path, and that was all she remembered,until she found herself here,Having to pretend to be the deceased daughter of a mad man.
     These days he had become strange to her;He would come at odd hours and stare  for several hours studying her,looking occassionaly at a picture and back to her convincing himself that she was his "daughter",
    Now he fed her less and less,and he no longer called her "My daughter" that was when she knew she had to do something fast,she started pretending to be Tofumi calling him "Dad" and asking him questions,but he kept ignoring her.He knew she was not Tofumi,He knew she was not his daughter.He knew he had picked a wrong one...again
      She was sleeping when suddenly the door burst open,and there stood the man.
      His face was contorted by hatred,in each arm was a knife and it was clear what he wanted to do.
   "You decieved me,You are not my daughter"
