“You gunna sparkle in the sunlight?” She laughed and I smiled as we waltz back to her place.
Pop culture had made hunting so much easier. And a lot more fun.
“May I?”
“Oh, of course.” She giggles, believing the act “come on in.”
I step in and watch her as she reveals her flesh.
Her smile slips; from eyes, and then lips. Horror freezes her as she takes in the twisted veins of my body.
I lick her skin, sending poison to freeze her permanently.
Her eyes her only means of communication. I bask in the fear for days.
