Leave Me Behind

by K.M. Moronova

There’s really only one person I’m worried about running into before tomorrow. They call him Bones. He’s rumored to be the cruelest man in the dark forces. Apparently he likes breaking open ribcages and literally pulling people’s hearts out. Sometimes their bones. Hence the disturbing code name he bears.

Tears make my vision blurry and my energy fades quickly. My mind is shutting off and going into survival mode.

Hm. Maybe I did go a bit too far, but the more she reacted to my touch, the more I wanted to see.

Two murderous, vile killing machines hurting and fucking each other like our flesh has nothing left to give us. Nothing left to surrender except this violent act of pleasure.

If I shut my eyes and imagine a different life, I wouldn’t be a monster; she wouldn’t be a killer. We’d be normal, maybe in love.
