And when
their
voices were called out

all you would
hear in these
expanse of chambers
was an echo
of an echo

of an echo

of an echo

These chambers might've held criminals and monsters who hurt others.
These chambers might've held those who had fallen mad after Götterdämmerung.
Whatever it was for ...
All you can hear now are the echoes.
Echoes of thousands upon thousands of chambers locked away in the void.
Echoes of thousands upon thousands of ghosts that can no longer be found in them.
The scariest part for me?

There's nothing in them anymore. Yet we can still hear the cries.

Author's Notes

A long time ago i wanted to write a story about a man waking up in some empty cell that had nothing except a chute to deliver food and drinks into. I never got around to writing it, could never really figure out how to make it interesting, but I kinda kept it in the back pocket for some day where I could have a little bit of SOMETHING about that.   Today's the day!

This concept is terrifying. Well done.
