Chapter
Twenty-Four
KNIGHT
moonlight
close now
so close
can feel her warmth against my side
strange
thought i would have to chase
thought i would have to hunt
thought i would have to take
but she came to me
touched me
no one touches monster
no one touches beast
only scientists with needles
only handlers with chains
but she touched my head
gentle
soft
like clouds touching earth
like stars falling into my hands
want to consume her
need to consume her
that is what she wants
that is what she has always wanted
her song tells me so
"come to me"
"find me"
"consume me"
