Storytelling, in Paragraph Proportions

Fragment 12


Oh, sweet. 

A little scantle of rough meat.

Oh, wrapped in a rat-skin for you, sweet...

 

Sing-song mockery.

Close now, little fingers like gleaming bloodless alabaster curled through the sandy-russet chain-links of his prison. 

Chin perched playfully on a long crossbar in the manner of a mannequin that had simply uncorked its head and placed it thoughtlessly upon a shelf.

A grin as sweet and warm as freshly turned grave-soil, and then it’s gone again.

 

Lost to the Deeps.
