A Demon Who Goes Silent

He dragged me into a dark place, I was squirming at first, clawing and biting. My teeth began to break from his scales. His warning growl stopped me. There is something sinister about being in an unknown place With a demon who goes silent An eerie feeling, no words can describe. He began examining me, as if I was a specimen. Perhaps I am. I have no idea what he is I begin to beg for my life When I get slapped ………………………..hard. Silence resumes itself I hear heavy breathing. Is he sleeping then? A little nap before he devours me. I plot my escape, knowing it is futile. He has me pinned. There is an unfamiliar horrible coughing And a smell that rivals a skunk. Am I going to die from a smell? He turns and begins by eating my right leg.

Oh my, Caren. This sounds like a horrific nightmare. Also, I thought maybe you were describing sleeping with a drunk...you know, that awful smell. Interesting, to say the least.
