The Painletter

Arthur Bettleheim is a man in pain.

Every moment is spent in unending, inexplicable agony. Every limb aches. Every nerve is on fire. Through pain-filled eyes he glimpses a hidden world of secret knowledge and monstrous shapes. The monsters stalk his days and haunt his nights, bringing him to the brink of madness. There is no escape. No respite.

Bettleheim consulted doctors and psychotherapists, witch doctors and quacks. He visited hospitals and sanatoriums. No one could help him. 

Then he hears rumors of a man who can take away the pain. 

For a price…

The Painletter is a short psychological horror story.
