Persey - A Cryptic Distortion #ProseChallenge

Sharon’s blood started boiling in her mouth

Alex, still silent, made a guttural noise of concern

‘Tate?’

‘Aéolyn.’ He mimicked

‘Watch me.’

He nodded

And pushed his hair back

His perfect smile encouraged me

I patted her face and tried to wake her up

The blood only found interest on the left side of her face

‘Wake up beautiful.’

She was basically gone

I kissed her lips

Then looked into her eyes

‘Are you afraid now?’

My hands trailed down the architecture of her throat

Then down her washboard ribs

Until they found the comfort of her breast

Then I shoved my hand into her chest and ripped things out

My fist stung

Her eyes glazed over

Death draped over her eyes with its cloak

Alex started sobbing

Repeating ‘No, no, no.’

Shaking her head

Losing grasp of her mind

She started tugging at the rope

I stood up and they came undone

She charged at me

For I was her next victim

I was prepared

You have to love how predictable basic instinct is

My eyes sent a message to Tate

Just before Alex jumped over her perforated girlfriend

And slammed me against the wall

She grabbed my neck

Her blue eyes came to life

I felt weak

She squeezed my neck harder

I got high off my lack of oxygen

A rush of endorphins coated me

I closed my eyes

I felt my cartilage being repositioned

‘Your turn.’

Tate came behind her

He shoved the knife inside her back

Towards the sky

Her grasp shuttered

I opened my eyes to Tate smiling

I smiled and pushed her stupid body away

Still light headed and soft

I dragged Tate closer to me

‘Thanks.’ I said

I pushed him off and told him to lay down on the canvas

He did as I told him

Then I sat on top of him

I placed him inside me

Then we went for it

Like caged animals in heat
