It crawls through veins, slithers—
my heart protests, shrivels.
It makes a nest in my chest,
blocks my windpipe next.
It takes control—
it is now home.

THEY are marring you with THEIR gaze,
redefining the beauty of your skin.
You scream without air, but there is no escape;
you accepted these flowers as a prize for your sin.
Etched in your flesh—the roots of your armour.
You’ve long surrendered to THEIR murmur.

He twisted his elbow joint, sliding off the #prosthetic to reveal a naked blade grafted right into his flesh.
“And now,” he said, looking down at his prey, “I’ll count to ten. You get to the fence? You win. If I catch you…you get to choose what I cut off first.”

The door swung open. I blinked as she stood in the doorway, backlit by the lightning outside. Her frazzled hair stuck out in all directions, her skin #drenched in liquid, but the rain hadn't even started yet.
She smiled and raised the broken glass bottle in her hand.

You have to walk a haunted country mile to get there, where people notice lately how bats are always a relevant subject of conversation for you.
And if they really care to listen, it's bats made of wood that have weaved through strange echelons.
