My immediate response to this was a little depressing, so I'm going with something fun instead:
The greatest torture for me, personally, would be trapped in an eternal groggy morning, forever getting to the coffee pot just after the last cup has been taken. Over and over, I'll set up a fresh pot to brew, only to find that it's always empty by the time I get to it. Absolute hell.
Alternately, you know those dreams where you really need to use the restroom, but you can't find a single working toilet? That.
It would be cruel to have my twin flame held just out of my reach. Dare I say we have grown up together, in that together we have matured from teenagers to adults and found ourselves as a pair, and to be apart for too long is to live without a shadow. We do not like to be without the other to such a degree that questions are raised if one of us is spotted alone. To have him held just out of reach of my touch, when his touch is all I covet, would truly be torture.
But should you want to know about something I currently do not have, it would be a crystal ball. This crystal ball represents certainty and the future. My biggest anxieties revolve around harm and death; I am afraid of roberry and tresprass, car crashes and cancer, sudden and drawn out deaths. I am skittish in my own home. Every creak and groan of wood is a violent burglar. Every pain in my leg is a fatal disease. I would want nothing more than to look into that crystal ball and feel assured that I will not die tomorrow, that I can relax today, that the likelihood of a tornado sweeping through my home next month is null, that the anxiety and the skittishness and the fear can wait for a while longer.
my answer is fairly intangible, so I'll give two answers. my first and honest one is a better version of myself. that's basically how my life feels anyway, with self-improvement never quite getting me where I want to be
the more tangible/feasible/fun answer is harder to come up with, but I think maybe it would be my cell phone. taking that away from me would be a Very Serious Punishment + a particularly intense thing to tease with. it feels like it's a part of my own body, and like the part of my body which most connects me to the rest of the world (as well as the place where I make notes for myself). it's like a part of my brain that you can touch (and by and large, I dont let people touch it)
