i find myself held in the jaws of depravity. the teeth so sharp, dipped in vicious brutality. my arms are pinned down by claws made to scar. they leave a poison, decay to spread too far. the attacker drops its hold, it’s musky breath smells greedy. when i look into it’s eyes, i see the true creature before me. a predator with rotten desire, seeking to consume beauty. with no safety to run free, i let his venom encompass me.
