Signed In Blood (Part4)
Now for the final act,
I go over to the broad
lying on the floor
quivering,
grab her by the restraint
and prop her up
so she can watch the show ,
bending down to her
I skillfully
slice away
her eyelids,
she mustn’t miss
any of this.
I kick her mate
into the middle of the floor,
snap my fingers
releasing him
then step on his back
and bring his right arm up
and start twisting it,
as it comes free
my ears pick up
on the horrific howl
being projected
into the atmosphere
by me
drowning out all sounds.
To calm myself
I start gnawing on his arm
with her watching
the whole while,
time for the feast to begin,
slowly I step down
on his head,
I can feel the bones
in his skull start to separate
and as his eyes pop out
the resistance is gone
and his brain
squeezes
out the top of his head.
I turn and stare
at my last toy,
blood and tears
marring her face,
this is gonna fulfill me.
getting down on all fours
I crawl over
and start eating
her left calf,
her rasping cries
drift into my ears
like a dirge
being played
for the recently dead.
I work my way
up to her thigh
then the other leg,
then to her belly,
now in a total frenzy.
I force myself
out of my feeding
and look down
at what’s left
of this pathetic wretch,
I retract my claws
and place my hands
on her cheek and chest
releasing
the glorious rot
that exists within me,
that is how
she shall spend
her last moments,
decaying
in a pile of herself.
Standing
I brush off my coat,
turn to the closest
bloodstained wall
and with a tendril
scribe
“The taste of the masses
has quenched me,
but woo to those
who disturb my slumber
with their malice
to society,
my next message
will be written in their blood.”
As I head
out the door
I hear a cell phone ringing
too bad
the dead can’t answer,
the tale they would tell
could crack the heavens.
