She stood outside the rusted metal door. She knocked once, but there was no answer* There would be no answer Everyone had long since left to the other world. I walked slowly towards her She took a last draw from her cigarette and ground it beneath her foot.
I wonder what her bare feet will look like Of course there was all time for that I will kiss every toe and burn the memory in my mind.
She jumped when I laid a gentle hand upon her shoulder. Her eyes measured me warily
Ah,
those dark brown eyes, almost black, so inhumanly beautiful. I will kiss each one and feel the caress of each soft eyelash against my skin.
Her panicked fear set within me a flame and all I can see now was her, her hair, her eyes, her supple mouth that formed a perfect cupid’s bow, a bow I wanted to open, stretch, kiss and caress. I pulled her to me. I laid my lips atop hers amidst her struggle to get away, but my grip was like iron.
I tasted the cigarette on her tongue.
Our chests touched and I could feel the flutter of her heart as she laid her palms against my chest
trying to separate us.
The clink of teeth on teeth resounded in my ears and against the night air void of all sound. She screamed, a sound that I fully expected, the delicate pitch making me rush in a bought of impatience to open the door that I pulled the metal from its hinges. I pulled her inside towards the stairs, towards our room.
She raged against me. Pulling and pushing, trying desperately to flee, but it was too late.
