and these snarling teeth
something out of a horror movie memory
from some murky black ooze
clamped tight on my lower half
tearing it away as if I were a sandwich
it pulled back into the bubbling black
grinning as it chewed
one shoe dangling from the corner of it's mouth
rows of razors churning like a great white
it stopped before going completely under
and let me watch it finish
I only wished to die before it's second strike
but it coiled, then sprang
from that endless neck
it's jaws opening as it came closer
through the haze I saw what appeared to be writing above it's eyes
branded into it's thick skin
X X
I then heard above my pounding heartbeat a click
and all was quiet
and the beast halted
mouth agape
close enough to read the word burned in black on it's hideous head
inches from me
E X X O N

I awoke
it was Friday
time to fill up
