The fox of terror flicks its tail, smells the wind, and slinks toward its prey. She is a woman with years strung on her neck instead of pearls. She knows the hunt and chase they will do. Pricking its ears the fox slinks closer, breath stinking with rage; blood lust pumps in its veins. She feels its eyes upon her, hears the vague exhalations of its panting. Ever closer, the fox toys with her. Its ruff engorged, its jaws open, ready... She shivers as she silently waits to see its feral eyes reflected in her own. When it pounces the world explodes in fists, knuckles and the teeth of terror that tear here flesh until... she is no more.

The Fox
The fox of terror flicks its tail, smells the wind, and slinks toward its prey. She is a woman with years strung on her neck instead of pearls. She knows the hunt and chase they will do. Pricking its ears the fox slinks closer, breath stinking with rage; blood lust pumps in its veins. She feels its eyes upon her, hears the vague exhalations of its panting. Ever closer, the fox toys with her. Its ruff engorged, its jaws open, ready... She shivers as she silently waits to see its feral eyes reflected in her own. When it pounces the world explodes in fists, knuckles and the teeth of terror that tear here flesh until... she is no more.
