Now Jack, never say never. After all, this is COMPASS we're talking about and it is their goal to ensure you receive quality misery.
To this end Jack had been left in the socks for the past twenty-four hours. Every so often, the white coated figure would appear, a flurry of multiple tentacle like limbs scurrying across the ground as it came close. Due to Jack's position, one eye stalk had to bend down to peer up into his face, human hands making a note on the clipboard before the legs scurried off once more.
It was just a few hours after the start of the next day, when the sun was up and people were definitely moving around (wanted to make sure everybody was awake!) when Jack would feel the stocks shudder. There was a jerk, a clatter and then the top half lifted up and off his neck but before Jack might get it into his head to try to rabbit, unseen hands grasped him.
He was pulled back and away from the stocks, turned towards what looked to be a metal guillotine, just a few feet away. Here the hands failed Jack, because while they propelled him forward, they did nothing to support him, leaving him to his own devices on legs that had gone to sleep, hours ago.
