I howled on the mat of dissolving particles.
The floor decorated with her essence,
her scarlet fluids.
How could they do this to her?

"I love her."
The thought filled my soul.

I felt my insides stretch,
as the cubicles between each of my teeth enlarged;
my mouth flooded with fangs.
My pupils,
they consumed the color that filled the windows to my soul.

I clutched my chest and choked on the sounds of a beast.



I became monster.



I recall a deafening sound erupting from my core,
my surroundings dripping out of sight.
An ambience of dream.

My body ached not of but for pain.
The kind that adorns your skin with shades of sky and ocean,
grass and blood.

I recall ripping sounds, and thick liquids banishing the clear scent of the city,
bathing me.


I remember running.


The memories come in flashes.
I could see dim orbs of light, illuminating a street.
one orb..
two orbs..
three..

I ran past, my head turning constantly to glance behind my shoulder.
They were chasing me.
As they always have.
A realization clicks into place,
and my knees collapse in sync with the moment.

I felt my insides shrink,
as the cubicles between each of my teeth shriveled;
my mouth flooded with gasps.
My pupils, they died into the pool of color that filled the windows to my soul.



I clutched my chest and choked on the sounds of a child.




I became her.
