Exhaustion weighs heavily within

Drip. Drip. Saliva , thick and viscous
patters to her shoulder. Then , cheek.
Its breath hot ——— Neither alive nor
deceased , but a miserable , violent
thing snared betwixt. Why didn’t the

The beast , hideous. Teeth serrated
, its body crimson and white ; alike
flesh stripped from blood and muscle.
Rotted in stench , churning the girl’s
stomach. Her heave stifled by a palm
to her mouth and nose. Gaze high.
Directly ABOVE her.

Open wounds 𝐒͟𝐄͟𝐀͟𝐑 as they met
the air’s bitter cold. Ichor trickling
from talons across her dominant
bicep , shoulder , and abdomen.
Breaths labored , tremor plagued
palm striving to nurse imperfections
amidst an unsteady retreat.
