Angel sits on her bed talking to her boyfriend, they’ve dated for two months and he says that’s enough. “Ang think about me, think about us, do it for us”. Angela is hesitant but her gaze remains fixed at the ceiling lamp, a moth in a trance Keeps bumping into it making audible clinks Angela opens her mouth slightly, hesitantly “Where are you, Baby, I’ll come to you right now.” “You’re gonna do it?” “I’m ready, yes. I trust you and Love You with my heart Baby.” “That’s what I wanna hear, I’ll leave the door unlocked. You are the Best.” The call ends and the screen on her phone goes dim It was a breezy evening, Angela decided to dress appropriately One arm through the sleeve, then the other, then one leg through the pant, then the other Shoes, socks, watch Appropriate Lock the door, hop on the bike, which she learned to ride At nine years old, the crux of her life, a little later than most She learned to go fast at ten, to catch up A left at 11th, and straight down three blocks to Baby’s place Illuminating the whole street at 12:00 The door was unlocked like he said and she entered like she said “I’m here, are you ready?” “Yes, please go ahead.” Angela had never done this before but she loved her Baby so much So, she started with her hands by making a slight incision at the webbing between her thumb and pointer All it took was a slight tug to peel off an inch of her skin, and then more, and then more and then more Until her whole left hand was exposed to the elements, to Baby’s great delight “More” She nodded with a slight smile on her face, and began to scrape off the rest of her arm Muscles and tendons revealed themselves, twitching slightly as if surprised by their own existence “Get it all off! Stop teasing! I love you, I want more!” Baby laughed and Angela made sure to laugh louder as she tore away to reveal her deltoid and her pectorals across her chest Next her stomach went, then her crotch, her skin making hollow thuds on the floor whenever they fell She wasn’t very neat but after all, this was her first time. The frenzy of the moment left Ang breathless, so this is True Love she thought, blood and mirth Baby held her all night long and traced his fingers across each strand of tissue, not afraid Angela could feel every individual filament in her left arm tense and flex and squelch to supply her livelihood, their livelihood And she smiled for herself, the greatest sacrifice she could give, and all for Baby tearing herself apart made her feel complete!

Oh Angela
