Them (Season 1): Episode 2
“What I saw made my blood boil; it was a large group of punters coming down the road, about a dozen, and they were hauling along a kid of maybe fifteen or sixteen years old. They had him chained to four saddled horses with a collar around his neck. Every so often, one of the horses would get out of sync, and he’d get dragged off his feet. It looked like they’d been at it quite a while.
As they got closer, I could see that the collar was made of thick leather with metal spikes on the inside. The ...kid had to keep his hands on the collar to keep it from digging into his skin; otherwise every time he got yanked off his feet he’d get stabbed by the spikes. Apparently he’d only been partly successful, because there was dried blood running down his bare chest and arms. He was dressed in an old ratty pair of board shorts, of all things, and his feet were bare. “Poor miserable son of a bitch,” I said under my breath.
As soon as I spoke, the kid’s head swiveled around, almost like a dog listening to a noise in the distance.MoreLess
