Your malice reared its ugly head, and popped right out of the surface. I didn’t realize I had used your trigger word without knowing. I would’ve shown you more compassion, if you hadn’t acted so rash when— I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. Alas, you’re a piranha on the prowl. Wishing to sink those teeth in a seeming victim that you found in me. But, I’m too fast, and you’re too brash. So, you’ll never catch up. If you could catch up with the others, you wouldn’t have to smother your prey. In the end, it’s your own price to pay.

Tired of power imbalances, unnecessary cruelty, and pressure to break from others’ relentless demands. So, here is piranha.
