Strain

Mechanical sounds.
Someone is in the old crevice.
And it’s a weird one.
The episodes.
Even an old octopus can fight.
A centipede which also attacks.
Creaks like an elephant biting metal.
Resilient.
Coconuts don’t taste as good as the cracking sound it makes.
I want my brain back.
It’s mechanical.
A centipede is curled around it.
So fight.
