[ WP ] Pain is discovered to be the most efficient form of energy . It is ruled illegal , but secret human pain factories have already begun . You are the owner of one of these factories .

`` Who do we have here?'' 
 
 `` Male, 30's, a wife and two kids.'' 
 
 I stare at a man tied to a chair. He's covered in cords we had attached to him from a computer a few feet from him. He sweats from the heat from the room. The temperature keeps them awake. We need them awake to make sure we can harness all the energy we can get. Pain is pure. But causing pure pain is a struggle. We've been through several trials. Hammering nails into toes. Cutting off limps slowly while they stay awake watching. Whipping them with barbed wire. What we did learn is physical pain, it's temporary. The body heals and we continue the process again. It was n't until recently we found how pure emotional pain is. It's last longer and takes longer to heal. Today is Tuesday. Today we run emotional pain test number one. 
 
 `` How long has he been here?'' I ask staring at the man in the chair again, he's eyes plead to let him go but his mouth is covered, so all he can do is struggle to make noise. 
 
 `` 10 hours, we had to wait for you.'' Payton says, clicking on his laptop. 
 
 `` Well, you know the lines at Starbucks, I was almost there all morning. Are we ready?'' I ask making my way to the other side of the room, there a giant box covered with black blanket sat. 
 
 `` We're ready.'' Payton says walking over to the man, taking off the tape from his mouth. 
 
 `` Please what do you want? Money? I have money.'' the man says. 
 
 `` Hey, look, you're going to do us a favor and watch. Can you do that?'' I ask with my hand on the blanket covering the box. 
 
 `` Watch what?'' the man asks. 
 
 `` Your family burn.'' I take the blanket off. I reveal a metal box with windows of glass on all sides made specifically to withstand high temperatures. Inside the man's wife, and his two kids huddled together looking around. They start screaming. 
 
 `` Let them go! Please!'' The man yells, struggling to remove himself from the chair. 
 
 `` Will do, just watch.'' I say as I go to the other side of the box, turning on the furnace. `` Payton it's 250 degrees, is that good?'' 
 
 `` Yeah, let's let him watch.'' Payton says typing into his computer. `` We're getting pure spikes.'' 
 
 The man continues to plead as his family huddles closer together screaming from the heat. 
 
 `` Please! Let them go! Please!'' The man begs. 
 
 `` Oh these are pure spikes. `` Payton says as he heads to the door. `` You coming?'' 
 
 `` One sec.'' I say as I kneel in front of the man. His eyes red matching the color of his face. 
 
 `` Do me a favor, just watch, see that camera up there?'' I point at a camera on the ceiling facing the man. `` If we see you close your eyes once, I'll come in here and cut off your eyelids, you go it?'' I get up and make my way to the door. 
 
 `` Please! Sarah baby I'm so sorry! Please let them go! Please!'' The man yells, watching his family scream from inside the box. 
 
 `` That's the spirit!'' I say approaching Payton at the door. `` How are the readings?'' 
 
 `` We could power this factory alone on this guy, who knows how much we could sell the Chinese if we could kidnap a couple more family's.'' 
 
 `` Good, good, enjoy the show!'' I say to the man who continues to scream and struggle in the chair, slowly closing the door behind me.
