Author's Note: My scene is from the George Orwell classic, "Nineteen Eighty Four".
Winston Smith is captured by the Thought Police and taken to the Ministry Of Love for interrogation by Inner Party member, O'Brien.
After many days of torture he is finally taken to the dreaded Room 101. O'Brien tells Winston the room contains, "the worst thing in the world!" Here the prisoner comes face to face with their deepest fears and phobias. Winston's greatest fear is rats.
A contraption containing starved, and now hungry rats, is fastened to his face. This ultimately breaks Winston. He confesses all his crimes and accepts, welcomes and decrees his love for Big Brother.
